ISS and LEO satellites tracker
Source: Thingiverse by f2knpw
The ISS and LEO satellites tracker is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by f2knpw. Let's start by two video of a real ISS tracking in my home :) One at 16x speed and one much longer but with explainations ! So here is a mockup of a ground station antenna, able. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
Let's start by two video of a real ISS tracking in my home :) One at 16x speed and one much longer but with explainations ! So here is a mockup of a ground station antenna, able to track any LEO sat you want. The antenna is 3D printed from a design I made starting with a 6 meter dish antenna picture. The dish is now 20cm wide, has a real paraboloid shape and is moved by two stepper motors fully hidden into the pedestal of the antenna. Two hall effect sensors and two magnets allow to setup the antenna horizontal and pointing to north at boot time. They are also hidden into the structure. An ESP32 is also hidden in the basement and is the heart of the system. It computes the position of the satellites every 1ms and computes the azimuth and elevation angles from your antenna to the satellite.…
