STARS: CW Dashboard

dl7ndr · June 11, 2025, 12:43pm

I’ve built a decoder and dashboard for STARS (KUKAI, 空海) to show the telemetry of its still CW beaconing daughter (子) satellite.

Since mid-October 2024 it’s in an energy-saving mode only transmitting m3 and m5 beacons.

Please upload beacons to populate the dashboard.

As an offline alternative you may also use DK3WN’s decoder tool.

STARS (JR5YBO) transmits r beacons (r2, r4, r6) again and seems to be back from energy-saving mode.

However, it fell back to transmitting only m beacons at the end of my observed pass.
