STRF

=========

strf is the satellite tracking toolkit for radio observations (RF). The software is designed to allow tracking of satellites from radio observations, using Doppler curves to identify satellites and/or determine their orbits.

The software is designed for linux operating systems, and will work with most software defined radios (SDRs), certainly those that are supported by http://www.gnuradio.com. The software comes with tools for data acquisition, performing FFTs to generate timestamped spectrograms (waterfall plots), and analysis, to extract and analyse Doppler curves.

Install

  • Clone locally the code repository
  • Install common dependencies
    • gfortran
    • gcc
    • libpng-dev
    • libx11-dev
    • libjpeg-dev
    • libexif-dev
  • Build & install required libraries
  • Run make on the strf folder

Run notes

  • You will need to set the following environment variables to run strf. ST_COSPAR COSPAR number ST_DATADIR path to strf directory ST_TLEDIR path to TLE directory ST_OBSDIR path to observations directory
  • You should install NTP support on the system and configure time/date to automatically sinchronize to time servers.
