The intent is to make and deploy a SatNOGS ground station at Bloominglabs. This is a satellite tracking system with azimuth and elevation control to point VHF and UHF antennas at satellites as they pass overhead. The SatNOGS project consists of 4 separate projects actually, the ground station is just focused on a 3D printable and easy to build azimuth and elevation tracking system.
More information about SatNOGS can be found here. They won the awesome 2014 Hack-A-Day challenge, their submission video is here.
Parts
The original project is sized to use all metric PVC for the 3D printed parts. In the US metric PVC is hard to find, this repo has parts resized for American PVC sizes:
- https://github.com/Paul-NA8E/satnogs-hardware/tree/master/Tracking%20box
- Updated axis-sides, print these instead of the ones in the above repo unless it's been updated since Feb 5th 2015
This link has a bill of materials and assembly directions. Please note that the links to parts from this page link to the metric versions so be careful.
