Supported hardware

Supported software

  • Raspbian OS
  • Ubuntu: bionic, focal. Other versions not tested, but most likely will work.
  • Debian: stretch, buster, bullseye. Other versions not tested, but most likely will work.

Satellites

  • 303+ satellites
  • Mostly cubesats on low earth orbit
  • Weather satellites like Meteor-M 2-2 and NOAA
  • Support newly launched satellites via special integrations

Modulation

  • 2-FSK/GFSK/GMSK
  • BPSK
  • QPSK
  • APT
  • LoRa

Framing

Mostly coming from jradio:

Scheduling

  • Automatic
  • Fair schedule between different satellites
  • Observations are load-balanced between devices of the same type
  • Each device can be configured for a specific frequency range. Only observations of that range will be scheduled on that device
  • Parallel observations on a single device - sdr-server
  • Minimum and guaranteed elevation when scheduling observations

Web UI

  • Select satellites to listen
  • Configure integrations
  • Configure RTL-SDR device. Using multiple RTL-SDRs or devices of different type require manual configuration via file ~/.r2cloud
  • Can be controlled via REST API
  • Monitor health of the system

Housekeeping

  • (If configured) Reload list of satellites from SatNOGS and leosatdata.com every hour
  • Reload TLE from r4uab.ru, celestrak.org
  • Retry upload to leosatdata.com if integration is enabled
  • Retry decoding if terminated in emergency
  • Flexible retention to keep historical observations: based on number of observations or expected disk usage

Observations

  • Parallel observations on multiple devices
  • Support rotators
  • Resume observation on restart
  • Decode frames into JSON if appropriate decoder exist in jradio
