#302 We build a 20 Dollars LoRa Satellite Ground Station and we follow the FossaSat-1 launch

The satellite currently is not working properly and cannot be reached with small antennas. Also the TTGO board shown in this video currently seems not be supported. Look at the alternative in the description or follow the Telegram stream.

G1XZL/ZL2SCI great start thankyou for your presentation ... Amsat tracking satellite software/application will help you ciao

I tried to follow the instructions in Gpredict today but even after updating the satellite list from the internet, I don’t get any results when I search for “Fossa” in the “new module” dialog. Are they no longer available or do they have a new name?

Sir Ji your work is totally ok thanks again your help in this chanal

Hi Andreas, i see FossaSat-2E1 has been launched and it could be very nice to update your video and see how its moving now. Thank you so much. Happy sunday.

I need to transmit a 300 kb data from ground station to a model satellite and transmit that same data to another station with different frequency. I was using Xbee for only send the data to model satellite but now that i had to send it to another station i was wondering if i can do that with Lora. There are different infos about it's bitrate but is 300 kb data large for Lora ? Also i have a Madunio Lora Radio and it has ATMega 328p microcontroller in it they say it's bitrate is 300 kbps but it's range is 2km. I wonder is there some other Lora modules with higher bitrate and higher range?

For anyone looking at this in 2021 or later, the FOSSASAT-1 (Norad CatNum 44829) was DECAYED on the 28th day of October in 2020. It is no longer operational.

Ballistic coefficient (BC) is usually defining how much drag is the object generating. On LEO satellites are subject to the orbit decay based mainly on drag, there is still a little bit of atmosphere up there. BC is often used in ballistic calculators because different bullets have different shape and they generate different drag.

Greetings from Colombia,

How is it possible for a LoRa to have sufficient range in distance?

20 $ is the price to send the satellite on space ?

you talk about LEO satellites that are between 300km to 500km; that is the thermosphere. The thermosphere is between 1500C and 2000C There is not metal on earth that can withstand that kind of heat. My guess is that they are bouncing the signal of the GODs Firmament aka "Ionosphere", but there is no satellites.

Tunisian tech company Telnet turned your wishes into reality. Lora is working out there and they received the signal for their first experience with a 4kg satellite. They did Great job for advancing Iot.

Exciting like a thriller. Now I'll look for how it went on.

I so enjoyed this ❤️❤️

Is FossaSat-2 still scheduled for Jan '21?

I wonder we could see what kind of Antenna would be suitable for communicating with this satellite, maybe a Video?

Hellooo, how far is the range on these? Is there a limit? Thanks in advanced...I just subscribed.

Brilliant!!

Hi there, is it possible to make a geostationary satellite with Fossa or with a Cubesat?

i’m so glad i just found this

I have watched your video, I am from India, I have also seen telegram fossasat chanel and did not able to know wheather fossasat 1 is ok or not pls make a video of succesful data transfer with fossasat 1 , and what is your ground station name.

Have you tried unplugging, waiting 10 seconds and then plugging in again?

Does it work already?

Great video but all I can hear is the saliva in your mouth haha

Well done Andreas ... Very interesting project 73 DE SV2LLJ IOANNIS

Will the world not fall after this mini satellite works for a while? Will he be able to stay constant? After a while another project I saw was the world or falling?

Hello andreas. 16 year old here in India .I cannot find FossaSat-1 in the database after updating,as of 22 May,2020. Is the mission over?

Good day, could someone teach me how to build my own ground station? Is that the video does not explain the connection of elements well and how to implement the code?

About how many of my ex-wife's coordinates can I send with a 10-minute pass? 😂

Hi Andreas, (I'm a big fan of yours). Anyways, is there any update on LoRa satellite?

Wouldn't you want to reorient your antenna? There's effectively a dead zone at the end of the antenna, right where the sat would fly over!

And Elon keep steal money from investors but a 16 year old guys is think Open Source maybe the future is not that dark

Great! Could you make a video about a sound card measurement with PC ( THD, THD+Noise, etc., resistance substitution box connection or simply resistor) ? How to connect properly all of them. Thank you!

So cool. An old friend of mine used to say "neatness is its own reward." This stuff is neat.

I got turned on now.

damn, how cool ist that "finger stick" :D

Can we use this satellite downlink in india sir

BRAVO !

Thanks for your excellent coverage of this. I ordered the TTGO board that you mentioned on the video. The groundstation software runs just fine. But since I have yet to hear a signal, don't know if it
actually works. I wonder what you mean by "unsupported" It shows up on the map km5h_1 right in the middle of the USA.

Andreas, would you please post a status update on this project?

hi, this is interesting. thanks for this.

Wow, satellite for engineers !!!

Thanks Andreas, very interesting. How come the el cheapo Baofeng hears something? Got to ask my mate Art VK4GO as he has spare time and more open skies.

I want to build a duplicate of the LoRa relay station contained in the satellite, does the code on Github provide me with all the code to do this? I know we're not supposed to build LoRa repeaters so I will be using the amateur band frequency.

Does sound wave travel in plasma?

I just hope that these small satellites are designed so that when they expire quickly fall down so that they don't litter the space.

I use Gpredict 2.2.1 updated but, when I want to create a new module, in the list, there is no Fossa satelitte ...
I found FO-29 ; 98 ; 99 ; FORMOSAT-3 FM1 to FM6.

From Fossa telegram channel i discovered that now only SX1268 is module suported by satelite. TTGo and other modules will not work.
