pystrf

Python based radio frequency satellite tracking.

This is a python port of STRF (https://github.com/cbassa/strf), but will include additional functionality to work with SatNOGS HDF5 artifacts and advanced Doppler curve detection algorithms.

Installation

Install package dependencies:

sudo apt install python3-virtualenv python3-pip python3-tk

Optionally, set up python virtual environment:

virtualenv -p python3 env
source env/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip

Install dependencies with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the git large filesystem to download example spectra and run

git lfs init
# maybe should be
git lfs install

Clone the repository via HTML

git clone https://gitlab.com/librespacefoundation/pystrf.git

or via SSH (you may have to add SSH keys to your gitlab account)

git clone git@gitlab.com:librespacefoundation/pystrf.git

Usage

Enter virtualenv, if used:

cd pystrf/
source env/bin/activate

To view data attached as example:

./rfplot.py -p data/2021-08-04T20_48_35 -c tle/satnogs.tle

./rfplot.py -p data/2021-08-04T20_48_35 -c tle/bulk.tle -C 9990

Example with data/2021-08-04T20_48_35 files

Example using SatNOGS observation ID (requires observation uploading h5 artifact):

./rfplot.py -p 6282358 -c tle/satnogs.tle

Observation ID 6282358
