Fredy:

{{warning|This guide is intended for Satellite Operators. For SatNOGS Operations moderators please see [[SatNOGS Operations Manual]]}}
==Introduction==
You are building a satellite? Congratulations! The information below will be helpful for the Communications and Operations part of your mission. Plan early and invest time in COMMS and Ground Segment. As a community, SatNOGS is here to help you in the process!

Although the information is tailored for missions that will be using Amateur Radio bands of the spectrum, some information is still relevant for other parts of the band too.

==Process==
===0. Early Stage===
It's strongly advised to get in touch with the AMSAT of you country at the beginning of your project. It enables that the radio amateur requirements are taken in account at the early stage on your project. It avoids false expectations and miscommunications along the way. In order to use an Amateur Radio band, your mission needs to be Amateur Radio related. Broadly speaking this includes and Amateur Radio service (like a transponder) or Amateur Radio experiment (new modulations, propagation experiments etc).
===1. Frequency Coordination===
First you need to determine whether you'll require an amateur frequency, a non-amateur frequency, or both.

Historically educational but non-Amateur Radio satellite operators (e.g. university research projects) were often improperly permitted to use amateur spectrum on a not-commercial basis. As this practice has led to serious congestion of the Amateur Radio Service, the IARU will no longer coordinate amateur frequency allocation for this purpose. Therefore:

*If your satellite will be purely for Amateur Radio use (i.e. all of its major functions will be available for use by all licensed Amateur Radio operators), then you're usually able to request Amateur Radio Space Service frequency coordination from IARU. You remain free to perform limited control functions on Amateur Radio spectrum. If there is an AMSAT organization in your country, start there. If not, approach your national Amateur Radio body. They will usually help you to get a radio amateur frequency coordination from IARU your allocation. It will take time: usually between six months and a year. If you don't ask for an IARU coordination, the launcher of your satellite may not allow you to launch the satellite.
*If your satellite will have substantial non-Radio Amateur use (sensor data, imagery, space-qualification of components, ...) then you will usually require a (non-amateur) Space Service license and frequency allocation. Approach your local radio communication regulator directly to start this process, which will have to finalized through ITU.
*If your satellite will do both, then you'll require licenses and frequency allocation/coordination for both services. A recent example is [https://www.amsat.org/falconsat-3/ FalconSAT-3].

====1.1 Publicly and openly document your Communications====
If you are planning to use a Radio Amateur band you are required to publicly and openly document ever singe detail of your transmission. That includes your modulation, encoding, framing and various functions. Your uplink and TC operations might not be publicly documented if you choose so.

Regardless of your band usage, we would strongly advise you to openly document your Communications since Open Data is a core pillar of sustainable and efficient Space operations. See the [https://manifesto.libre.space/ Libre Space Manifesto] for more info.

===2. Integration with SatNOGS===
====2.1 Reasons to Join====

{{warning|In order to have scheduling rights in SatNOGS Network, you need to own an operational Online Station in the Network. Consider building one, or donating one in the Network.}}
==3. Operations==

===3.1 Launch Operations / Satellite Identification===
A few weeks / days before the launch, a contributor will create the '''Launch Thread''' for every planned launch in the [https://community.libre.space/c/satellites-observations/launches/26 Launches] category of our community. This thread is supposed to collect information about the satellites that will be launched and about when and where this will happen.

After the launch all communication about identifications / deployments / determined orbits / operational status are shared in this launch thread. Keeping the information for all satellites of a single launch in one thread is tremendously helpful for coordinating between missions! For example identifying two of three satellites in a train will allow the identification by exclusion principle of the third one. Note however that for launches with many satellites this thread is quite busy. So if you e.g. intent to describe your mission in detail you can open a separate thread for your mission in the [https://community.libre.space/c/satellites-observations/16 Satellites & Observations] category.

You are highly welcomed to participate in this thread, for example by stating the affiliation with your mission, sharing the expected orbit, frequencies and modulations or sharing the identification and photos / images of your satellite. If you share identifications please always shortly explain how you got to a certain TLE (e.g. from on-board GPS, via doppler measurements or using the exclusion principle).

'''<big>We wish you a successful mission. Claim Space, the Libre Way!</big>'''

Fredy: Add warning about version incompatibility

[[File:B3342fcc865731d69e0c9d7a8b1abb887185bc13 1 531x500.jpg|alt=Libre Space Foundation Raspberry Pi Case|thumb|Libre Space Foundation Raspberry Pi Case, [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3233687 on thingiverse]]]

==Introduction==

The Raspberry Pi (version 3, 4 and 5) is the reference platform for SatNOGS (see our [[SatNOGS Client Ansible|Ansible guide]] to install SatNOGS on other Linux machines).

{{Message|This page assumes you have an account and a ground station registered on either network.satnogs.org or network-dev.satnogs.org. Make note of your station ID and API Key.}}

==Flashing==
{{Warning|IMPORTANT: Some essential features from the previous version are currently unavailable in the newer version. Please review the [[SatNOGS Setup#Missing_features|Missing Features Table]] before flashing. If any of the missing features are critical to your setup, follow the [[Raspberry_Pi_Legacy|Legacy Software Installation Guide]] to install the legacy software.}}Use the '''Raspberry Pi Imager''', as outlined in the [https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html#raspberry-pi-imager Raspberry Pi OS flashing guidelines], and follow the steps provided there. Along with the official guide, be sure to take into account the instructions provided in the following subsections.

===OS selection===
{{Warning|IMPORTANT: Currently the supported <code>Raspberry Pi OS</code> version is the <code>bookworm</code>, if you use <code>Raspberry Pi Imager</code>, make sure you have selected the right version, which currently is under the <code>Raspberry Pi OS (other)</code> menu. Support for the new stable version (<code>trixie</code>) [https://gitlab.com/groups/librespacefoundation/satnogs/-/milestones/23 is planned to be supported in the future]}}
To optimize resource usage and reduce unnecessary running services, choose the Raspberry Pi OS Lite image instead of the full Raspberry Pi OS image. During the OS selection process, navigate to the <code>Raspberry Pi OS (other)</code> submenu and select <code>Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit)</code>.

===OS customization===
At the very least, you need to:

*Set username and password
*Set locale settings
**Time zone
**Keyboard layout
*Enable SSH

If connection to the internet is via Wi-Fi, make sure to '''Configure wireless LAN''' as well.

To easily discover the Rapsberry Pi among other Rapsberry Pis in your network, '''set a unique hostname'''.

==Getting console access==
You can log in the Raspberry Pi by connecting it to a keyboard and monitor or through network via an SSH connection.

===Keyboard and monitor===
Once your Raspberry Pi is booted, log in with the username and password that you set during the flashing process.

===Network===
If your network supports [[wikipedia:Zero-configuration_networking|<code>zeroconf</code>]], you can use the hostname of your Raspberry Pi and log in with SSH using the username and password that you set during the flashing process. Example:
$ ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
If <code>zeroconf</code> is not supported then you must manually find the IP address of the Raspberry Pi (e.g. in your router management interface).

==Installation==
To install the SatNOGS software on the Raspberry Pi OS or any other supported OS you just log, and execute the following command:
$ curl -sfL https://satno.gs/install | sh -s --
This command executes the '''SatNOGS Setup''' tool which will install all the necessary software and then bring up the SatNOGS configuration menu-driven utility.

Follow [[SatNOGS Setup]] instructions to configure the system.

Fredy: Adding applied limitations in SatNOGS services

===Definitions===

====Frequency Coordination====
Frequency coordination is, preceding its use, the technical coordination of frequencies (including geostationary orbits) conducted by the authorities who are planning the radiocommunication network, on the basis of the Radio Regulation(RR) enacted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in order to prevent the frequencies radiocommunication networks from causing harmful interference to the networks of foreign counties.

 

====ITU Radiocommunication Service====
A radiocommunication service is – according to Article 1.19 of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Radio Regulations (RR) – defined as «A service…involving the transmission, emission and/or reception of radio waves for specific telecommunication purposes.»
 
 

====Satellite Service====
Satellite services means communications capabilities that utilize an on-orbit satellite for transmitting the signal from one location to another. Those are the services that are of interest to the SatNOGS project.

The following are all the possible different satellite services:

===SatNOGS Policy===
====Frequency Misuse Decision Diagram====
In Libre Space Foundation we take frequency coordination, spectrum management and violations very seriously. Radio spectrum is a finite resource and we need to follow international regulations and practices to ensure fair access and usage of frequencies as services.

We use the following diagram to determine if a satellite should be marked for frequency misuse: 
[[File:Frequency misuse.drawio.png|center|frameless|646x646px]]
 

====Frequency Misuse Limitation====
After long discussions among the SatNOGS Community and Libre Space Foundation(LSF), we have decided to apply limitations to satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations.

These limitations, presented in the next sections, take into consideration some technical limitations and these factors:

* As SatNOGS Community, we want satellites/missions to follow regulations and we want to press the teams towards this direction
* As SatNOGS Community, we want to be able to record and document for posterity, satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations
* As SatNOGS Community, we want to be able to observe satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations for contributing to Space Situational Awareness(SSA)
* As SatNOGS Network station owners, we want to be able to choose if our stations will be used to observe satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations.
* As Libre Space Foundation (LSF), we want to limit our resources usage for satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations.

----

=====SatNOGS Network=====

* The group Operators has been created to schedule satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations only for recording and SSA purposes
* SatNOGS station owners can choose in station settings, who is able to schedule satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations. The available options are <code>No one</code> (defaults choice), <code>Only Operators</code> for SSA and recording purposes only, <code>Everyone</code> but with the rest of the described limitations
* Limitation of two (2) observations per day per satellite/mission that misuses frequencies or violates regulations. This limitation doesn't apply for Operators group scheduling

{{Message| The Operators group is open to everyone, if you want to join the group and help with scheduling, SSA and other operations of SatNOGS Network, please [[Get_In_Touch#Chat_with_us_on_our_Matrix_room | get in contact with the community]]}}

=====SatNOGS DB=====
* Removal of "exporting data" functionality
* Expose and mark satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations in Transmitters and Satellites APIs
* Limitation of one (1) request to Telemetry API per day per satellite/mission that misuses frequencies or violates regulations.

{{Message| SatNOGS Network and 3rd party clients will be able to send data to SatNOGS DB for satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations via SiDS protocol without any limitations}}

=====SatNOGS Decoders and Dashboards=====

* Decoders and Dashboards can be implemented for satellites/missions that misuse frequencies or violate regulations with the limitation of decoding data and show them in dashboards with a delay of fourteen (14) days.

{{Message| All the above limitations are re-evaluated periodically and may change in the future}}

Fredy: /* Client troubleshooting */

==Client troubleshooting==

If the hints for common issues below don't help solve your issue, you are welcome to post in the [https://community.libre.space/c/satnogs/6 SatNOGS section] of the [https://community.libre.space/ Community forum]. When doing so, please include any error from the logs and the output of the support report to give the necessary context:

{{Message|
Check the whole error log with <code>sudo docker logs satnogs_satnogs-client</code>
Check live the error log with <code>sudo docker logs -f satnogs_satnogs-client</code>}}

{{Message|Generate support report by the menu item <code>Advanced -> Support</code> in <code>sudo satnogs-setup</code>}}
===Raise or Set the debug level===

*Run <code>sudo satnogs-setup</code>
*Go to '''Advanced Configuration''' and set the '''Debug level''' to one of the Values below
*'''Apply''' the change

{| class="wikitable"
!'''Setting'''
!Values
|-
|'''DEBUG'''
|
{| class="wikitable"
|<code>CRITICAL</code>
|-
|<code>ERROR</code>
|-
|<code>WARNING</code>
|-
|<code>INFO</code>
|-
|<code>DEBUG</code>
|-
|<code>NOTSET</code>
|}
|}

When done debugging, don't forget to reset the log level, or the files will fill up your disk space.

===Client not showing up on the network?===

*Check that you have ticked the "Is it operational?" checkbox on the groundstation page.
*Check your settings and ensure that the API token and station ID are correct. You can get these from your profile page on the SatNOGS network site. If you have accounts in both dev and prod, make sure you're using the token and station ID from the right environment.
*Check your SATNOGS_NETWORK_API_URL. It should point to https://network.satnogs.org/api/ (prod) or https://network-dev.satnogs.org/api/ (dev).
*Check your network connectivity. Can you ping network.satnogs.org or network-dev.satnogs.org? Try running <code>curl https://network.satnogs.org</code> or <code>curl https://network-dev.satnogs.org</code>.

===RuntimeError: RTL-SDR device not found.===
Seems that the device is not there. Try rebooting and check if Soapy can identify it using:

<code>sudo docker exec -ti satnogs_satnogs-client SoapySDRUtil --find="driver=rtlsdr"</code>

==="satnogsclient - ERROR - Cannot connect to socket 127.0.0.1:4533"===

The client is trying to connect to rotctld but is unable to.

*If you have a no-rotator setup, ensure that satnogs-client is configured as such; see the [[Raspberry Pi]] page for info on how to do this.
**These errors may continue to be reported until [https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/satnogs/satnogs-client/issues/340 issue #340] is resolved.

*If you do have a rotator, ensure that rotctld is running.

===Some uploads missing & Doppler-correction not working properly===
The station/client might have a clock offset. This causes a Doppler shift on the waterfall and some observations don't start because of a conflict between the time on the PC of the station and the time of the SatNOGS Network.

===Uploads (waterfall or audio) are missing for a past observation===
When using <code>satnogs-setup</code> for editing/updating the configuration of the station, the satnogs-client gets restarted. When this happens during an observation the observation will be aborted and no waterfall/audio/data files will be uploaded. Such observations should be voted as ''failed''.

The partial data from such observations is stored in <code>/tmp/.satnogs/data/</code>, look for files like <code>receiving_{satnogs|waterfall}_123456_2019-01-01T12-23-42.{out|dat}</code>. They can be manually removed.

===ERROR - Observer job lock acquiring timed out.===

<pre>
Mar 03 20:05:53 satnogs satnogs-client[257]: satnogsclient.scheduler.tasks - ERROR - Observer job lock acquiring timed out.
</pre>

This message is shown when a previous Observation failed (due to a hardware issue or some bug) and didn't properly terminate. To fix this issue, first check the logs for the observation that failed to understand the root cause. Then, restart satnogs-client.

==Signal troubleshooting==

===Blank or solid purple waterfall?===
{{Warning|Some information in this section seems outdated or wrong. Please take it with care.
Once reviewed this banner can be removed.}}
At the first sign of trouble, put your station into testing mode.

*Make sure the RTLSDR gain is set correctly. Follow the guide at [[Omnidirectional_Station_How_To#Setting_the_gain]] to find a proper gain setting. Check your gain value is valid. Wrong values can result in blank waterfalls. For example '7.7.' will result in errors (and a blank waterfall - there is an extra '.' at the end). <code>sudo docker logs satnogs_satnogs-client</code> It might be a big file, but work through it and look for errors. <code>df -h</code> Ensure there is sufficient hard drive space. If temp files can not be created, the waterfall might be blank. Run <code>sudo docker exec -ti satnogs_satnogs-client rtl_test</code> for about 30 seconds and make sure you can connect with the dongle and that there are no errors.

===Not receiving anything?===

*Make sure the satellite you are testing observations against is active and recently received by others on [https://network.satnogs.org our production network site]. If you click on a satellite name, a popup will appear and give you the option to click on "Past Observations". If everything in the past shows red, then the problem is likely with that satellite.

*SO-50 is a good satellite to use for testing as it is a strong FM voice signal assuming you have UHF capabilities. Schedule using "PE0SAT - Mode V/U FM Voice - 436.794 MHz". Here is an example to compare against: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/3334/

*ISS is a good test for VHF as the APRS digipeater is alive again (as of this writing; check [https://www.issfanclub.com/ issfanclub.com] for up-to-date information). When you schedule it, be sure to select the APRS downlink.

*If you're using an rtlsdr, check that it can be seen and is operating correctly by running rtl_test. Let it run for 30 seconds or so, then hit Ctrl-c to kill it:

<pre>

</pre>

*You can also try a manual run of satnogs_afsk1200_ax25.py to make sure that works:

<pre>
$ sudo docker exec -ti satnogs_satnogs-client timeout -s INT 20s satnogs_afsk1200_ax25.py --soapy-rx-device="driver=rtlsdr" --antenna=RX --samp-rate-rx=2.048e6 --rx-freq=444000000 --rigctl-host=rigctld --file-path=/tmp/audio-out.ogg --waterfall-file-path=/tmp/waterfall.dat
$ sudo docker exec -ti satnogs_satnogs-client ls -lah /tmp/audio-out.ogg /tmp/waterfall.dat
$ sudo docker exec -ti satnogs_satnogs-client rm /tmp/audio-out.ogg /tmp/waterfall.dat
</pre>

If everything is working, this should create an .ogg file and a .dat file of non-zero size (probably a few MB each).

===Observations seem off-frequency?===
[[File:Waterfall_3519_2017-04-24T04-48-48_resized.png|frame|Check your location!]]

*'''PPM drift''' While newer SDR devices are very good and stable, there still may be some PPM drift to compensate for if you notice that signals are consistently off center. The SATNOGS_PPM_ERROR setting in /etc/supervisord.d/satnogs.ini can be used to correct for this.
*'''Clock sync''' Make sure your clock is synced. Ensure ntp is configured and running (especially with the Raspberry Pi which lacks a real time clock)
*'''Wrong location''' If your signal seems to be on but drifts at the apex like in this image, check to make sure your Latitude, Longitude, and Elevation coordinates are set properly and in the right format.

===USB===
You can reset USB without having to reboot the system by running these commands:

<pre>
$ usbreset
Usage:
usbreset PPPP:VVVV - reset by product and vendor id
usbreset BBB/DDD - reset by bus and device number
usbreset "Product" - reset by product name

Devices:
Number 001/003 ID 0424:ec00
Number 001/002 ID 0424:9514
Number 001/004 ID 0bda:2838 RTL2838UHIDIR
$ usbreset 001/004
Resetting RTL2838UHIDIR ... ok
</pre>

===RF Noise===
If you notice a noise in the waterfall every time motors are spinning, you will need to:

*Twist each pair or the motor wire
*Add proper grounding
*Add capacitor to the DC input of drivers
*Wrap the motors wire with adhesive aluminum and then connect it to GND on driver side
*Add ferrites to motors wires

When done debugging, don't forget to reset the log level, or the files will fill up your disk space.

===Client not showing up on the network?===

*Check that you have ticked the "Is it operational?" checkbox on the groundstation page.
*Check your settings and ensure that the API token and station ID are correct. You can get these from your profile page on the SatNOGS network site. If you have accounts in both dev and prod, make sure you're using the token and station ID from the right environment.
*Check your SATNOGS_NETWORK_API_URL. It should point to https://network.satnogs.org/api/ (prod) or https://network-dev.satnogs.org/api/ (dev).
*Check your network connectivity. Can you ping network.satnogs.org or network-dev.satnogs.org? Try running <code>curl https://network.satnogs.org</code> or <code>curl https://network-dev.satnogs.org</code>.

===RuntimeError: RTL-SDR device not found.===
Seems that the device is not there. Try rebooting and check if Soapy can identify it using <code>SoapySDRUtil --find</code>.

==="satnogsclient - ERROR - Cannot connect to socket 127.0.0.1:4533"===

The client is trying to connect to rotctld but is unable to.

*If you have a no-rotator setup, ensure that satnogs-client is configured as such; see the [[Raspberry Pi]] page for info on how to do this.
**These errors may continue to be reported until [https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/satnogs/satnogs-client/issues/340 issue #340] is resolved.

*If you do have a rotator, ensure that rotctld is running.

 

===Some uploads missing & Doppler-correction not working properly===
The station/client might have a clock offset. This causes a Doppler shift on the waterfall and some observations don't start because of a conflict between the time on the PC of the station and the time of the SatNOGS Network.

===Uploads (waterfall or audio) are missing for a past observation===
When using <code>satnogs-setup</code> for editing/updating the configuration of the station, the satnogs-client gets restarted. When this happens during an observation the observation will be aborted and no waterfall/audio/data files will be uploaded. Such observations should be voted as ''failed''.

The partial data from such observations is stored in <code>/tmp/.satnogs/data/</code>, look for files like <code>receiving_{satnogs|waterfall}_123456_2019-01-01T12-23-42.{out|dat}</code>. They can be manually removed.

===apt-get update: connection failed===
When using the sudo apt-get update command, we get the following connection error:
[[File:UpdateFailed.png]]

However, a ping to the Ip address works.

If you use a firewall (Ex: stormshield SN210), it can include a default rule that blocks connection urls containing a dot-slash ("./"). (This rule can be named as follows: "path with self-reference")

This rule must be modified to allow the raspberry to access the repository

==Signal troubleshooting==

===Blank or solid purple waterfall?===
{{Warning|Some information in this section seems outdated or wrong. Please take it with care.
Once reviewed this banner can be removed.}}
At the first sign of trouble, put your station into testing mode.

*Make sure the RTLSDR gain is set correctly. Follow the guide at [[Omnidirectional_Station_How_To#Setting_the_gain]] to find a proper gain setting. Check your gain value is valid. Wrong values can result in blank waterfalls. For example '7.7.' will result in errors (and a blank waterfall - there is an extra '.' at the end). <code>journalctl -u satnogs-client.service</code> It might be a big file, but work through it and look for errors. <code>df -h</code> Ensure there is sufficient hard drive space. If temp files can not be created, the waterfall might be blank. Run <code>rtl_test</code> for about 30 seconds and make sure you can connect with the dongle and that there are no errors.

===Not receiving anything?===

*Make sure the satellite you are testing observations against is active and recently received by others on [https://network.satnogs.org our production network site]. If you click on a satellite name, a popup will appear and give you the option to click on "Past Observations". If everything in the past shows red, then the problem is likely with that satellite.

*SO-50 is a good satellite to use for testing as it is a strong FM voice signal assuming you have UHF capabilities. Schedule using "PE0SAT - Mode V/U FM Voice - 436.794 MHz". Here is an example to compare against: https://network.satnogs.org/observations/3334/

*ISS is a good test for VHF as the APRS digipeater is alive again (as of this writing; check [https://www.issfanclub.com/ issfanclub.com] for up-to-date information). When you schedule it, be sure to select the APRS downlink.

*If you're using an rtlsdr, check that it can be seen and is operating correctly by running rtl_test. Let it run for 30 seconds or so, then hit Ctrl-c to kill it:

*You can also try a manual run of satnogs_afsk1200_ax25.py to make sure that works:

<pre>
$ cd /tmp
$ satnogs_afsk1200_ax25.py --soapy-rx-device="driver=rtlsdr" --antenna=RX --samp-rate-rx=2.048e6 --rx-freq=444000000 --file-path=./audio-out.ogg --waterfall-file-path=./waterfall.dat
</pre>

Let it run for a minute or so. If everything is working, this should create an .ogg file and a .dat file of non-zero size (probably a few MB each).

===Observations seem off-frequency?===
[[File:Waterfall_3519_2017-04-24T04-48-48_resized.png|frame|Check your location!]]

*'''PPM drift''' While newer SDR devices are very good and stable, there still may be some PPM drift to compensate for if you notice that signals are consistently off center. The SATNOGS_PPM_ERROR setting in /etc/supervisord.d/satnogs.ini can be used to correct for this.
*'''Clock sync''' Make sure your clock is synced. Ensure ntp is configured and running (especially with the Raspberry Pi which lacks a real time clock)
*'''Wrong location''' If your signal seems to be on but drifts at the apex like in this image, check to make sure your Latitude, Longitude, and Elevation coordinates are set properly and in the right format.

===USB===
You can reset USB without having to reboot the system by running these commands:

echo “usb1” > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind
echo “usb1” > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind

This can be placed in the satnogs_post_observation_script for automation.

===RF Noise===
If you notice a noise in the waterfall every time motors are spinning, you will need to:

*Twist each pair or the motor wire
*Add proper grounding
*Add capacitor to the DC input of drivers
*Wrap the motors wire with adhesive aluminum and then connect it to GND on driver side
*Add ferrites to motors wires
