Program Overview

University of Auckland Satellite Tracking System

The University of Auckland runs an experimental satellite tracking station on the roof of building 303. This system comprises both UHF and VHF antennas. The system is remotely accessible and uses both open hardware and software.

Project Overview

This project will require the student team to upgrade the existing software stack to include the following functionalities:

• Decoding amateur satellite transmissions using supplied decoding software
• Developing well-documented and well-commented end-user interface software

Stretch Goals

• Automating the ground station to track satellites
• Adapting the ground station to submit data to the SATNOGS network of world-wide ground stations
