SatNOGS

SatNOGS (Satellite Networked Open Ground Station) is an open-source project that offers a global network of satellite ground stations. This participatory project allows individuals and organizations to build and operate their own ground stations, contributing to a worldwide network for tracking and receiving data from satellites. Beyond the physical network, SatNOGS also maintains a machine-readable, crowdsourced database of satellite information, providing valuable data for satellite operations and research. The project provides detailed documentation for building new ground stations or integrating existing ones into the network, fostering a collaborative environment for space enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its open-source nature promotes accessibility and community involvement in satellite communication and data collection.
