About CANSAT-GCS

CANSAT-GCS is an open-source ground control station tailored specifically for CanSat competitions and small satellite projects. It integrates hardware components like ESP32 and LoRa for real-time telemetry transmission, with a Python-based backend validating data packets and storing them in InfluxDB. The system offers a comprehensive live dashboard via Grafana, displaying critical flight parameters such as altitude, orientation, GPS trail, link quality, and battery status. Its automation features include detecting launch, parachute deployment, and landing, and it even generates automatic post-flight reports. Designed by a student for students, CANSAT-GCS provides an accessible, full-stack solution for small satellite enthusiasts, combining hardware and software seamlessly for immersive telemetry analysis and mission control.
