Online Telemetry Forwarder

Dear friends,

firstly many thanks for your long-term support in collecting online telemetry for UWE-3 and QB50p1 over the last months.

The amount of incoming data is increasing very fast and so we (Jan, PE0SAT and me, DK3WN) decided to use a new – database based – approach.
This software can run in the background and alongside other decoders and/or AGW-OnlineKISS etc. The following satellites are supported: BISONSAT, BUGSAT, CUBEBUG-2, DEORBITSAIL, FIREBIRD-3, FIREBIRD-4, GRIFEX, MCUBED-2, O/OREOS, POLYITAN, QB50P1, QB50P2, STRAND-1, TIGRISAT, UNISAT-6, UWE-3, PHONESAT2.4, ZACUBE, XW-2A..2F

We decided to take these sats because they could be easily decoded by UH7ZO soundmodem software (1k2, 9k6, 19k2 – BPSK, AFSK, FSK). All received packets will be checked, automatically assigned to the correct NORAD ID and forwarded to Jan’s PE0SAT server (Total_HTTP/Total_HTTP_OK).
Packets from unsupported satellites will be not forwarded but counted (RX). Every packet will also be logged in the /log directory. So we have a kiss file backup for all incoming packets selected by their satellite name. You can use these kiss files with my telemetry decoders (file -> open serverlog) for further processing.

Jan is working on the database front-end. You can see here some statistics (packets per user, packets per satellite, last 10 received packets).
Additionally you can download all received packets – this may important for the cubesat teams (download requires authorization.)
