STAR TRACK - Satellite Advanced Virtual TrackingSystem
FH Aachen / Hannah Walther
The STAR TRACK student project is based at the FH Aachen Space Operations Facility (FHASOF) at Faculty 6 Aerospace Engineering.
STAR TRACK is pursuing the digitalisation of the ground station at FH Aachen.
This will allow us to operate our ground station from anywhere in the world and access the satellite data from home. Until now, tracking satellites required on-site operation of the ground station, but thanks to an interface that allows remote control, operators will then be location-independent.
The relevance of digitalisation is particularly evident at the moment and will open up many possibilities for us in further projects in the future.
Another goal, in addition to the digitalisation of the ground station, is the automation of the necessary sub-steps. Because tracking satellites requires the interaction of different software and hardware, which will be made considerably more efficient and less error-prone through automation.
The project offers numerous opportunities to get involved. If you are interested, you are welcome to send an email to fhasoffh-aachen.de.
