[[Project:HackSat1|HackSat1]] will be in [[Project:HackSat1#The_Orbit|LEO]]. In order to receive signals in the space we'll need to build a ground station and control room. Ideas or experience in this area needed. | [[Project:HackSat1|HackSat1]] will be in [[Project:HackSat1#The_Orbit|LEO]].

The aerial suggested to be used for the reception may be enhanced by using a cross-yagi. It's been used for AMSAT/OSCAR amateur radio communication as preferred option, canceling out most of the polarisation loss due to satellite rotation/tumbling. The complexity on the aerial will increase,but its a "passive" gain,where you will be able to get longer passages on each orbit, and also a steadier signal overall. | The aerial suggested to be used for the reception may be enhanced by using a cross-yagi.
