Hi all, This is just to announce that, as part of the GNU Radio organization, I have been accepted as a mentor in the ESA Summer of Code in Space (http://socis.esa.int/) program, with the project:
34. gr-satellites, a SDR amateur satellite receiver framework: expanding the CCSDS stack support The ESA Summer of Code in Space program is an ESA program where students can work in an open-source project during the 3 summer months. There is a funding of 4000€ from ESA for each student accepted in the program. Students should apply to one of the accepted projects between April 11 and May 4. The description of the project is as follows: gr-satellites is a GNU Radio out of tree module encompassing a collection of telemetry decoders that supports more than 60 different Amateur satellites. It suports most popular protocols, such as AX.25, the GOMspace NanoCom U482C and AX100 modems, an important part of the CCSDS stack, the AO-40 protocol used in the FUNcube satellites, and several ad-hoc protocols used in other satellites. So far, only parts of the CCSDS stack that were critical for decoding the Amateur satellites are implemented. Often, these Amateur satellites implement only a small part of CCSDS, using ad-hoc protocols in combination with the standard. Additionally, there is no complete implementation of the CCSDS stack for GNU Radio. The goal of this project is to expand the support of the CCSDS stack in gr-satellites, providing a complete implementation of some of the standard blue books. Time allowing, the following will be implemented: TM Synchronization and Channel Coding, TC Synchronization and Channel Coding, TM Space Data Link Protocol, TC Space Data Link Protocol, Space Packet Protocol. If you are interested in participating in this project and have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. Also, please relay this information to anyone that could be interested.
