Great question, and I suggest you take a look at SatNOGS! It's a community driven satellite ground station project, where you can offer your own antenna and make use of the antennas of others. At my work we host 4 groundstations and regularly make use of those offered. A large open-source project like this can always use more contributors.

There's over 600 open issues with everything from hardware to website UX, so depending on your field there may be a lot you can contribute.

Thank you very much for sending me down that rabbit hole :-)
