\section{SatNOGS DB}
|
|
The SatNOGS DB is a database that lists satellites,
|
|
many of which can be tracked by network operators.

For some satellites, telemetry is available in a Grafana dashboard.
|

See the RamSat telemetry dashboard.

\section{Libre Satellites}
|
|
Satellites in orbit, decayed, or designs on Earth that generally support the libre way.
|
|
Select libre satellites:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item UPSat --- First libre open source hardware and software satellite in the world.
|
|
Created by the \gls{LSF}. \\
|
|
\url{https://upsat.gr/}
|
|
\end{itemize}

\Gls{RF} Observations can be scheduled on the SatNOGS network.
|
|
See XXX for a sample list of observations of the RamSat CubeSat.

Individual \gls{RF} observations are uploaded to the SatNOGS network,
|
|
as can be seen in the example observation of the RamSat by SatNOGS
|
|
ground station ``2380 - Piszkesteto UHF'' run by volunteer bcsak (username).
