Distributed Ground Station System
Radio amateur satellites are built by international teams. For the contact with satellite they usually use single ground station. In this configuration and satellite on the Low Earth Orbit, teams have contact only for about 40 minutes per day. If satellite has service for radio amateurs then they use it for 20 hours per day. A lot of them have connection to the Internet. This is a big difference. We can use radio amateur’s transceivers and antenna systems for use to build ground stations network named Distributed Ground Station System. This system is one of the experiments on “PW-Sat” satellite which is building on Warsaw University of Technology.
