HackSat One is due to launch on 9th December 2013. This page summarises areas we need to work on for Hackney Space Centre prior to launch.

Mast & Antenna

  • Making mast trailer operational
  • Steerable antenna
  • Control software for antenna
    • Test with ISS and FUNcube

Signal Decoding

  • GNU Radio automation
  • Borg and sister servers
  • Increasing speed of FFT (GPU? AVX?)

Mission Control

  • Tracking ISS and HackSat Orbit
  • Communications with other ground stations and main KickSat mission control
  • Visualising decoded data from our and other ground stations, e.g. spinning 3D model of sprite
  • Physically building out area in Hackspace with monitors, comms etc.
    • Where does this go physically in the Space?

Science!

  • What can we learn from the data?
    • Sensors: temperature, magnetic field, gyroscope (spin rate), uptime (solar power available)
  • ...

Publishing

  • Make data from our ground station available online
  • Twitter feed from HackSat One

Launch Party

  • Video feed of Falcon 9 launch
  • Video link to main mission control for KickSat
  • ...

Miscellaneous

  • Brew a commemorative HackSat beer
