Ground Station Customized Softwares/ Software Development Kit
We are in process of development of Student Satellite Ground station for amateur satellite. we are using Satpc32 software for receiving satellite passes/telemtry for funcube.
Satellite Ground station software are mainly two types
1. Satellite Control related s/w 2. Satellite Mission related s/w 3. Satellite data archiver and ground station operation management
We need to know any customized SDK for our Satellite Ground Station which can further tailored for our customized need. I mean is there any Software Development Kit Free in part or whatever which can be used further and further developed or customized to support our specific need.
We donot know how to make any integrated IDE which includes drivers of our equipment.
Is there any Telemtry software which can be used to archive all the telemtry /satellite passes daily. What professional software available in market specfic to H/W mention below.
we have the following main Hard Ware/Equipment.
1. ICOM Transceiver 9100
2. SPID RAS Azimuth/elev Rotor
3. Satpc32 software
4. UHF/VHF antennas and Amplifiers
any help to find software tools/SDK for our ground station.I shall be very grateful .
Thanks and Kind regards

Hi Shakeel,
I do not really understand your question. SatPC32 can move your antenna and also calculate some future passes.
Funcube can send data to the funcube warehouse. This may be what you mean for telemetry archive.
See: http://funcube.org.uk/ http://warehouse.funcube.org.uk/ The source code is shared here: http://funcube.org.uk/ground-segment/the-data-warehouse/ Are you using the dashboard here?: http://funcube.org.uk/working-documents/funcube-telemetry-dashboard/
Normally you configure SatPC32 to move the antenna, and use the dashboard to send all the received data to the funcube warehouse. When the data is in the warehouse you can access it.
Is this what you need? Are you only receiving the funcube satellite or do you have different satellites you are interested in?
Are you sending data up to a satellite, and if so which one and what data format?
Are you looking to make a standardised ground station. There was a standard, and I think a few stations are operational, but there is not much information online: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Educational_Network_for_Satellite_Opera...
If you are transmitting, then it would be a good idea to try make it compatible with other similar ground stations.
Please ask questions and try to explain what satellites you want to receive and what you want to transmit.
