FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why tinyGS?

tinyGS is an open-source project that allows anyone to set up a low-cost satellite ground station using inexpensive LoRa hardware (like ESP32). By joining the network, you contribute to a global community that provides real-time tracking and data reception for hundreds of satellites and weather probes, making space exploration accessible to everyone.

What do I need to start?

To get started, you need a supported LoRa board (such as the Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 or TTGO LoRa32), an antenna tuned to the correct frequency (usually 433MHz or 868/915MHz), and a power source. Simply flash the tinyGS firmware onto your board, connect it to your local Wi-Fi, and your station will begin automatically uploading received packets to the network.

Can we transmit data to the satellites with tinyGS?

While tinyGS is primarily a receive-only (RX) network, some satellite operators occasionally allow for data uplink. However, to participate in these transmissions, you must hold a valid Amateur Radio License to comply with international radio regulations and legal requirements.

How tinyGS help on the safety of space?

By acting as a massive, distributed sensor array. By capturing precise timestamps of signal reception across thousands of global coordinates, the network helps track and verify the orbital position of satellites. This data is vital for predicting satellite paths and avoiding collisions, which is the primary defense against the Kessler Syndrome.

I'm a satellite operator, how can I add it to tinyGS?

We welcome new missions! Contact us via GitHub or Telegram with your satellite's NORAD ID and modulation parameters (LoRa/FSK). Once integrated, our global network will provide you with a real-time dashboard of your satellite's health and telemetry from across the planet.

What is the Kessler Syndrome?

The Kessler Syndrome is a theoretical scenario where the density of objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is high enough that a single collision could cause a cascade of debris, making space activities and satellites impossible for generations. tinyGS helps prevent this by providing precise, crowdsourced tracking data.
