# Ground Station
![SatNOGS Spacecruft Ground Station 2733](img/spacecruft-satnogs.png)
SatNOGS network ground station #2733 is the implementation of this design.
* https://network.satnogs.org/stations/2733/
# Overview
Designed for artificial satellite tracking.
* Libre.
* Completely documented design listing all parts and sources
from Antennas to Zipties.
* All commodity-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts from the North American market.
* Requires no special tools or skills to assemble.
* VHF and UHF antennas on crossboom.
* Alt/az rotator optimized for satellite tracking.
* 24/7/365 outdoor operation.
* Relatively low cost, but parts selected for quick deployment not price
(e.g. no Arduino hacking, no soldering, etc. which could lower price).
* Indoor computer and controllers.
* 110V AC power (e.g. not a solar system).
* Quick and easy mast deployment.
* Non-permanent mount, which can be easily moved.
* All parts shipping via courier (UPS, FedEx), no freight required.
* Easily serviced, upgraded, modified.
