FloripaSat GRS Wiki

Ground Station (GRS) is the communication module of FloripaSat I on Earth. It's responsible for communicating with the satellite and receiving information about how it is working. GRS is composed of hardware and software. The components include antenna, transceiver, filters, amplifiers and a personal computer with orbital-prediction software, encode e decode data.

Software

Once the data is received, some information may be converted to understandable information, since the data is sent in raw form.

To interpret data, we use the FloripaSat-GRS software. It can receive in real time or from a recorded raw file on computer.
