# 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.
