  • Patent number: 11728886
    Abstract: A cubesat communication system implementing addressable data packet for transmitting information collected by the cubesat to one or more receive-only ground stations. The cubesat may transmit information to the receive-only ground stations according to a scheduler. The receive-only ground stations may receive information from the cubesat without sending any commands to the cubesat to prompt transmission and re-transmit to a central common station using a bent pipe streaming protocol. Information between the cubesat and the ground station may be transmitted via a connectionless, datagram network protocol.

  • Patent number: 10054686
    Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for managing one or more ground stations that track satellites. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores information of a ground station at a first position at a first time. A processor receives from a sensor information of the ground station at a second position at a second time. The processor detects an anomaly of a positional characteristic of the ground station based on a difference between the first position and the second position. The processor outputs an instruction to calibrate the ground station based on the detected anomaly.
