|
\item Satellites --- What are we looking at?
|
||||||
|
\item Ground Stations --- How Earth talks to satellites and back.
|
||||||
|
\item SatNOGS Optical Process Overview --- The big picture of what
|
||||||
|
hardware and software is needed to set up an optical ground station
|
||||||
|
for use on the distributed network.
|
||||||
|
\item Hardware --- Details on appropriate hardware configurations,
|
||||||
|
and example setups.
|
||||||
|
\item Software --- A look at the myriad software related to satellites,
|
||||||
|
and what works best at present for SatNOGS Optical.
|
||||||
|
\item Acquire --- Convert photons to bits. Pointing a camera at the
|
||||||
|
sky works.
|
||||||
|
\item Solve --- Pictures of stars reveal the time and location of
|
||||||
|
the photo. Plate solvers reviewed.
|
||||||
|
\item Detect --- The plate solver says where the photo is,
|
||||||
|
now detect if are there moving tracks that aren't stars that could
|
||||||
|
be satellites.
|
||||||
|
\item Identify --- With time, location, satellite detection, \glspl{TLE}
|
||||||
|
are overlaid and compared with detected satellites.

\section{Network Status}
|
||||||
|
The SatNOGS \gls{RF} network has been running successfully for years.
|
||||||
|
Adding an optical network is a new development. At present there
|
||||||
|
are zero nodes on the network.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some software already exists,
|
||||||
|
some is being ported from C to Python, and other parts remain to be done.
|
||||||
|
There is software available for acquiring optical data of satellites.
|
||||||
|
There is no facility at present for pushing data back to the network.
