SatNOGS is Satellite Networked Open Ground Stations. Dan White AD0CQ presented their story at the 2015 ARRL/TAPR DCC in Chicago. The basic idea is to have lots of geeks - hams and otherwise - build these simple ground stations for receiving data from LEOs (Low Earth Orbiting Satellites) like the CubeSATS, network them together, and create as continuous a system as possible for pulling the data from the satellites and making it available to the people who need it. If you're looking for a project that can interest young, future technologists, this is something you can start today!
