Large Satellite Dish Tracking Weather Satellite Signals Turning a Backyard into an 8-Foot Satellite Ground Station with Raspberry Pi to Capture Weather Images from Space

Cranktown City has built a DIY satellite ground station that uses an 8-foot satellite dish to follow satellites as they move across the sky and receive the radio signals they transmit. Unlike a manually operated dish, this system can calculate a satellite's position and automatically move the dish to follow it. One of the project's biggest achievements is receiving full-disk weather images…
