| EasySat Satellite Tracking System Dean Brice (G0UIL) of the NLO Radio Group, has recently completed the design of his EasySat satellite tracking system (shown right). All non-stock parts were manufactured by Dean using his own CADCAM system. Control of azimuth and elevation is via a Bluetooth interface, and the only electrical connections to the assembly are a 12V power supply and the antenna feeds. The associated control software can be run from a laptop computer and allows automatic tracking of orbiting amateur satellites and low orbit weather satellites. Dean has demonstrated the system at recent radio rallies and the South West Astronomy Fair (at the NLO), and has now started small-volume production. The high standard of engineering, exellent software design and rapid antenna orientation are notable features.  For more information, contact:Dean Brice  |
