\section{Overview of Satellites}
|
|
\label{sec:overview-satellite}
|
|
|
|
This chapter gives a brief overview of \glspl{satellite}, with particular
|
|
antention to ones using \gls{amateur-radio} bands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section{SatNOGS DB}
|
|
\label{sec:satnogs-db}
|
|
|
|
The \gls{SatNOGS-DB} is a database that lists \glspl{satellite},
|
|
many of which can be tracked by \gls{ground-station} operators on the
|
|
\gls{SatNOGS} network.

\section{Libre Satellites}
|
|
\label{sec:libre-satellites}
|
|
|
|
Below are \glspl{satellite} in \gls{orbit}, decayed, or designs on Earth that generally support the \gls{libre} way.
|
|
These are some select \gls{libre} \glspl{satellite}:
