Ground Station

November 2021

Ground Station is still a work in progress. Antennas are still being worked on. Due to the lack of flight missions, there is little work in command and control of Ground Station.

October 2021

Ground Station has started developing algorithms to automatically uplink and downlink pictures from their satellites to help train their Star Tracker. Additionally, they have begun work on ground infrastructure and updating and maintaining their current technologies. Some work has been done in testing the low noise amplifier for their SDR (software defined radio), along with some minimal testing of their quad-yagi on top of Engineering 4 that is currently broken. There are also a few more programming projects in the works, which future updates will touch on as they get closer to finishing them.
