HackSat One is due to launch on 9th December 2013. This page summarises ideas for areas to work on for Hackney Space Centre prior to launch.
For an introduction to the project check out https://flux.org.uk/projects/hacksat/
NB. Flux is still working on this page, stay tuned for an announcement on the mailing list.
Mast & Antenna
- Making mast trailer operational
- Steerable antenna
- Control software for steerable antenna
- Test with ISS and FUNcube prior to HackSat launch
Signal Decoding
- Automation
- GNU Radio programming
- 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 matching actual motion of HackSat
- 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
- LHS Bikeshed
- ...
Miscellaneous Ideas
- Brew a commemorative HackSat beer
- Fabric mission decals
- ...
