SatNOGS includes an open-source modular software stack, developed from scratch or utilizing existing projects. The versatility of the architecture enables communication with existing software or easy development of custom software for specific needs.

For all following Software components you can select to either use the SatNOGS software of the equivalent software for non-networked operations.

==Tracking==
Two options for tracking are available. Operators may use the popular GPredict for real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction or a custom build solution in Python that provides API for custom or remote unattended tracking. Both solutions are communicating with the mount using rotctld over Easycomm protocol.

== Intro ==

Thanks for your interest on building a satellite ground station!
First things first you need to understand all the different components of a ground station. Head over to [[#]] to read more about ground stations. Once you familiarized yourself with all the components you need to make a selection on what you are going to be building (and/or buying). Below you can find a table outlining all the different options.

== Options ==
A satellite ground station is made up from different parts. The following diagram can help you select your setup based on your needs and/or your existing setup.

{{Message|Use the above table to select your setup. E.g. SatNOGS Network > SatNOGS Client > RaspberryPi > Yaesu G550 > Kenwood TS2000 > UHF helical & VHF Cross Yagi}}

== Next steps ==

Once you have a ground station ready, you should go ahead and operate it! More info can be found on [[Operation]] wiki page.

==SDR==
Based on the versatile
[http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=35&Level=4&Conn=3&ProdID=257 RTL2832U chip], SatNOGS is using R820T RTL-SDR as the default signal receiver and tuner. The R820T RTL-SDR is currently the cheapest, most common, and most performing solution available in terms of general sensitivity having a frequency range of 24 – 1766 MHz. The stack allows usage of other receivers too (like amateur radio transceivers) through the usage of rigctld (part of [https://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/ Ham Lib project]).

Nglk: /* Commercial Antennas */

Antennas developed and used by SatNOGS rotators

==SatNOGS antennas==

To cover the needs of the SatNOGS community the SatNOGS team has developed a number of antennas.

===Yagi===
A Yagi antenna is the simplest antenna for the novice maker

===Cross Yagi UHF v1===
A cross yagi UHF antenna.

Github:[https://github.com/satnogs/satnogs-antennas/tree/master/Yagi/Cross-Yagi-UHF-v1]

===Helical v1===
The first iteration of our helical UHF antenna allows users to create there own helical antenna design using only 3D printed parts

Github: [https://github.com/satnogs/satnogs-antennas/tree/master/Helical/UHF%20lhcp]

Dozuki how to guide [http://satnogs.dozuki.com/Guide/Helical+Antenna+v1/3]

===Helical v2===
The second iteration provides is more rigid but needs to have access to CNCed parts
