groundstation

A GNURadio-based ground station receiver for the Sprite spacecraft.

Installation

$ mkdir -p gr-sprite/build && cd gr-sprite/build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install

Usage

Record I/Q samples using your favorite SDR at 437 MHz. There are GRC flowgraphs available to do the same. For example, to use the rtl-sdr recorder:

$ gnuradio-companion gr-sprite/examples/SpriteRecorder_RTL.grc

Then, decode Sprite transmissions with:

$ gnuradio-companion gr-sprite/examples/SpriteReceiver2.grc

To decode the samples you recorded, disable the rtl-sdr block and enable the File Source and Throttle.
