The Ground Infrastructure

To support the low-power, high-bandwidth satellite communications required to achieve as close to a live video feed from low Earth orbit as possible, our team is developing a 2-axis (elevation over azimuth, overhead flip) radar positioner which will support equipment for UHF and S-Band applications.

Technologies

RF Engineering Antenna Design Control Systems Python GNU Radio CAD

Key Features

  • 2-Axis Tracking
  • UHF/S-Band Support
  • Automated Control
