Hello! My name is Sergio Bernabeu, I am currently in Stockholm, Sweden, working on a CubeSat project at KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology. I am using SatNGOS to test our new ground station (2047), but I used to manage the one at my former university (531).

Hi @ssbp and welcome!
About your cubesat project, if you want to integrate it with SatNOGS I suggest you read this guide. Feel free to join the rest communication channels, more details in this wiki page.

Hi!
Iām Alex UT4FJ from Odessa, Black Sea coast. Being a noob in Linux, Iām spent few days (instead of couple of hours when you know what to do) to set up a station based on Orange Pi4 (armbian buster) + RTL-SDR V3 + simple 4 el. Yagi VHF fixed on my balcony. Now the satnogs client, auto sheduler and monitor does work properly and today I got the very first decode. Iām still waiting for motors and other parts for home made rotator based on K3NG controller, but it can be a problem to place it on a top of townhouse. Anyway, I have some plans to improve my antennas in future.
Unfortunately, Iām useless as software developer, but thank you for a very interesting project.

Hello, my name is Lahfa Samy, I am currently in France, an undergraduate in Computer Science looking to contribute to making open source space software, itās such a good idea that a community around this idea already exists, I wonder will open-source spaceships be a thing in the future where we can just tweak about every software/firmware, Iām very excited to see what will this community bring about !

Hi @akechishiro, welcome to the Community. It is great to have you here.
If you wish you can also join the LSF chat channel on Element/Matrix and you can introduce yourself there as well.
You can also take a look at the GitLab repositories of LSF. Do keep in mind though, that if you find something you would like to contribute to, before embarking on working on the issue, you need to inform the developer of the project by adding a comment on that issue.
Donāt hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or you need any clarifications,

Hi @michal.drzal and welcome to the community!
For buidling a station I suggest you check the wiki.satnogs.org, you can start here. With your experience it shouldnāt take a lot of time to setup the station if you have the necessary hardware.
By the way if you see spot anything not clear or wrong in the wiki, let us know or even better edit it and fix it.

Good day everyone,
I am Ash Noor, I am in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.
Iām not sure how, but I some how came across this lovely foundation, and from reading through it, and seeing some of the cool projects everyone is working on, it has inspired me to stop being just a Observer, and become a Contributor.
Iām a blogger, a new penetration tester (Cyber Security / Info Sec), and I code a bit in Python.
I really writing tools/programs that are helpful. My current passion project is working on a Nubian Dictionary. I was able to digitize one, and now Iām working on a little program that would help recognize that ancient language, and display it on the screen.
Iāve been a lover of space for a while, but only as an observer, and even though I know movies arenāt an actual depiction of things, I do find them inspirational. One of my favorite is āContactā, and I recently just saw an indie British film called āCosmosā which was about 3 astronomer friends that go hunting for signals, and things get interesting.
All that to say, I am very happy to be here, and I hope I can contribute in any way.
Thank you in advance for being a place for a space enthusiast like myself to be able to join.
Be safe out there.
See you in the forums.

Hi everyone, great to meet you all.
My name is Nye Thompson, Iām an international artist based in London and my artwork explores our relationships with new technologies. Iāve been thinking a lot about satellites and power recently as part of my latest art projects, and Iām really interested in ways that people like myself without an engineering background can engage more directly with satellite activity.
Iām hoping to build a ground station this summer, as part of an artist residency & art exhibition in Craiova, Romania. I have some experience with Raspberry Pi, although not with RF - so any additional support from the community will be much appreciated.
Looking forward to getting involved in this amazing project.

Hi @newyearseve, welcome!
The best source for info is our wiki, and of course if something is not clear you can create threads here with your questions.
There were some art/museum projects that you can check for ideas, for example check this one or this one.
PS note to myselfā¦ it would be nice to have a page in wiki for documenting such installationsā¦

Thanks for the kind welcome @fredy!
And thanks also for the links to the art/museum projects - look forward to checking them out. Yeah an art installation page on the wiki would be great, hope to be able to contribute something to it soon.
Have a great week ā
Nye
