Digital Revolution

The exploration of space has always been a fascination of mine. With the advent of Software Defined Radio (SDR), this exploration has taken a significant leap forward.

SDR is a radio communication system where components that were traditionally implemented in hardware are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system. This flexibility allows us to adapt to new signals and protocols that we encounter in space.

In the realm of space exploration, SDRs are used in satellite communication. They help in decoding telemetry data from satellites and even the International Space Station. Amateur astronomers can use SDR to listen to satellites passing overhead, track them, and even communicate with them.

Moreover, SDRs are also used in radio astronomy for capturing signals from celestial bodies. They can be used to study phenomena like pulsars and the cosmic microwave background radiation.
