Күн бұрынSatellites are fascinating but costly and therefore only available to governments, the military, and, recently, also billionaires like Elon Musk (SpaceX) or Jeff Bezos (Amazon).
Undiscovered for most, there is another trend: Universities and small companies can build and launch satellites. Because most of these satellites use open transmission standards, everybody can listen to them. Today we will look at a hobby project which enables us to do so. In addition, the project uses some innovative concepts, where we can learn a lot for other projects. And it shows what the Maker community can achieve if we want.

Sorry but I need to ask this, or I'm afraid I'm not totally understanding the goal of this. Let me see if I get it right... The community is able through TinyGS to build a network of ground stations, that will receive the payloads from the sky and relay them through the internet. Correct? But "nobody" is able to transmit from the ground to the sky, correct? If so, what are the messages that the ground stations are receiving from the sats? Is it only sat telemetry? If the regular users are not able to transmit to the sky, what is the goal of building this ground network? Is it a proof of concept? I'm asking this because I've a "shed" on a remote location without 4G and I was willing if I could use this Lora Sats to receive some local telemetry from the shed. As a "trade-off" I was thinking on building a ground station on the city. But if I'll not be able to transmit, the building of the ground station will be only "for the fun".

Thank you for a great video again. I was wondering about the polarization of antennas for satellite reception. Do they lose a lot of efficiency when the pointy-end of the ground plane points to the sky or does it not matter? I'm also a fan of the device-fingerprinting method. You should check out rdzsonde firmware for weather-sonde tracking, open-source, unlike mysonde and uses this fingerprinting as well as a great companion app.
@AndreasSpiess 3 жыл бұрын
Some satellites use circular modulation. The cubesats seem to use linear polarization (antenna size?). Concerning direction: Satellites hardly are overhead you. So a GP is good enough. I know the rdzsonde project but decided to use mysondy. I do not need two ;-)

Thank you for your very nice presentation. What kind of messages do you receive from satellites? You are just listening to it and get whatever data he sends? Can you use those satellites to hop a message sent from your ground station to another ground station?
@AndreasSpiess 3 жыл бұрын
For the moment we only can listen. Some projects also plan repeaters. I pinned a comment with the address where you can see the latest messages received by the network.

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. So if I am in the USA which freq is most useable? Also I see that when buying the lora32 module we have to choose which freq, but the module label shows 868/915. Can they do both or is it fixed?
@AndreasSpiess 3 жыл бұрын
Most of these satellites cover the whole world. So if you are in an uncovered area 433MHz would be good because more satellites use and will use this band. If you want to support your Stanford guys, 915 is good. But you might not hear anything because currently they seem to have issues.
@erikas6874 3 жыл бұрын
It's quite impressing that even satellites can communicate on the already very crowded ISM-bands. However, the 70 cm ISM-frequency (433.92MHz) is inside the 70-cm band for radio amateurs, and is secondary priority (must tolerate interference from ham-radio traffic). If you choose to take a full radio amateur exam, you will have a lot more possibilities with respect to frequencies and power. Perhaps one day you also can chat a little with the International Space Station too (NA1SS american operator, RS0ISS russian operator, DP0ISS/OR4ISS/IR0ISS european operator), provided that you live in a place with free sight-of line to the orbit. 20-100W power at uplink should be more than enough with a 1/4-wave antenna.

You are right. These satellites, BTW, use the HAM band and not the ISM part. 73 de HB9BLA

Another great project, very clearly explained, thank you Mr. Spiess! One question to the community: is anybody able to to read the data from the LoraBoard with MQTT for its own use, not only sending it to TinyGS? I wanted also to make some simple recording over time about the number of messages received per day but couldn't successfully connect subscribe to the LoraBoard with my own MQTT server (running on Raspi based on a Docker project from Adreas...:-) . Happy to get any feedback, thank you!

It would be really helpful if TinyGS software was available for not only ESP32, but also, for example, Raspberry Pi with a LoRa board connected with SPI. Also, do we know how much a directional antenna with a rotator would help, compared to an omnidirectional ground plane?
@AndreasSpiess 7 ай бұрын
1. No Raspberry is needed. It would be too expensive. 2. I regularly get signals from 2000km away with just a simple groundplane antenna. So no fancy antenna setup is needed. More than 2000km is hardly possible becasue the satellite disappears behind the horizon...

@@AndreasSpiess 1 - true, I thought about a scenario where someone already has a RPi active 24/7 for some other purpose, but has SPI pins to spare 2 - that's really cool that it works without any directional antenna - so I guess that a preamp wouldn't improve reception also, 73 de SQ2KTN :)

@AndreasSpiess 3 жыл бұрын
This is what most people think. But if you work with satellites, you see that 90-degree passes are rare (then the distance is short, and therefore the signal is strong). Most of the passes are where the GP is quite sensitive. A Yagi would be better, of course. But more complicated.

Sehr schön aufgezeigt Andreas. Automatische Firmware Updates für iot....wenn das nicht zu hacken ist, wäre das sicher sehr hilfreich. Von den lora Reichweitenrekorden hab ich gar nichts mitbekommen, damals wurde doch öfters berichtet, wenn ein Ballon Mal 700km und mehr schaffte. Eine GP Antenne macht doch eigentlich eine Halbkugel auf über der Antenne, bringt da eine flexible Halterung wirklich Vorteile, ohne viel Richtcharakteristik? Die wird auf deinem Balkon doch nur schief geweht. 😛

Wenn du sicheres OTA willst: IOTappstory.com. Hier ist es nicht sehr sicher. Deswegen habe ich die Bemerkung über OTA gemacht. Viele Leute denken dass Satelliten hoch über uns fliegen. Das ist aber höchst selten der Fall. Normalerweise ist die Elevation klein, sogar wenn der Satellit genau über uns fliegt ist die Elevation normalerweise klein.. Deshalb ist eine GP ok. Besser ist natürlich eine Beam mit automatischer Nachführung...
