Andrew YoungOver the past month or so I've been working on a little side project to help me learn more about RTEMS, a real-time operating system used in many aerospace projects. To that end I've created a satellite ground station controller that runs on a BeagleBone Black SBC. I also designed an I/O "Cape" PCB for use with the BeagleBone Black. If you're curious, I invite you to check out the repo. Just remember that this isn't "production quality" by any means. https://github.com/vaelen/controller/ #amsat #satellite

For anyone that needs a hardware device to mock up a radio, antenna rotator, or GPS receiver, check out this project I wrote: https://github.com/vaelen/serial-device-emulator
I'm working on a groundstation controller and needed mock devices to talk to.

Satelliten erleben „Orbitale Sommer“ und „Orbitale Winter“
Satelliten wirken auf den ersten Blick unbeeinflusst von Jahreszeiten. Wie die AMSAT in der aktuellen Ausgabe ihres News Service Bulletin (AMS-348) informiert, unterliegen sie jedoch ausgeprägten thermischen und energetischen Zyklen, die als "Orbital Summer" und "Orbital Winter" bezeichnet werden. Diese Phasen ergeben sich aus der Kombination von Erdposition, Sonnenstand und der jeweiligen Umlaufbahn.
