Huh. VITA-49 kainda makes sense. It's the industrial/defence sides standardized format for transferring RF stuff as data. All other solutions for streaming the data seem vendor specific to their hardware and software. When AWS Ground Station launched I looked into their terms of service, hoping to be able to rent some time on their big dish to receive images from weather satellites.
But no, you needed to own the satellite in question, not just have the keplerian elements for pointing at it and then demodulating the unencrypted, freely broadcast images from it.
But no. Gota own the sat. I wonder if that has changed. But I can understand why. It's not like you want to run a SIGINT-As-A-Service platform that everybody with a credit card and maybe a Delaware corparation can use. |
