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.
| Control Software | Host Software | Electronics | Rotator | Radio | Antenna |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SatNOGS Network | SatNOGS Client | SatNOGS Rotator electonics | SatNOGS Rotator | SDR | Yagi |
| Other Software | Rot2Prog | SPID Big RAS | Transceiver | Helical | |
| lsf-g5500 | Yaesu G5500 | Vertical | |||
| No rotator | Cross-Yagi |
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.
