Groundstation

From 2017 to 2018, Bluesat built and maintained our K17 satellite tracking ground station as support for duration of the UNSW EC0 (QB50-AU02) cubesat mission, maintaining a mission critical data connection. Now, as a part of the development of our portable satellite tracking ground station, our team has repeatedly captured and processed data from NOAA satellites to test our capabilities and improve our members' understanding of the scope of this mission. Moving forwards we seek to extend this ground station's capabilities to maintaining an uplink and downlink connection with our high altitude balloon and later our own cubesat in low Earth orbit.
