Personal DIY Space Ground Station Masterclass: Build a Real LEO Satellite Ground Station in 1 Hour

C'est du sérieux

This practical workshop teaches participants to build and operate a low-cost LEO satellite ground station using a laptop/PC, SDR, and open-source software. It covers SDR setup, TLE data, real-time satellite tracking, and receiving NOAA, ISS, and amateur signals. Participants decode telemetry and weather images, use VHF/UHF antennas, and explore RF monitoring. Tools include RTL-SDR, SDR++, GPredict, and Orbitron. By the end, they have a fully functional entry-level ground station.
