Project Overview
Built a satellite ground station using Raspberry Pi and an RTL-SDR dongle to capture real-time images from NOAA and METEOR satellites. Designed and assembled a DIY antenna system for signal reception and decoding.
Challenges
- • Receiving weak satellite signals reliably
- • Designing and tuning a DIY antenna
- • Processing raw signals into usable images
Solutions
- • Experimented with multiple antenna designs for better reception
- • Used open-source decoding software to process satellite signals
- • Automated scheduled captures and image archiving
