  • The final report for the GSoC 2021 program Project Summary The purpose of this project was to improve the capabilities of the SatNOGS transmitter (TX). More specifically, SatNOGS is an Open Source global network of satellite ground-stations and is a project of the Libre Space Foundation. SatNOGS consists of subgroups and projects (see librespacefoundation/satnogs on GitLab) so that its management is more efficient and the needs of users are more easily met. My contribution, under the GSoC 2021 program, was made to the out-of-tree module of GNU Radio gr-satnogs which is the implementation of SatNOGS within GNU Radio. During the 10 weeks of the GSoC 2021 program, I was able to complete the initial plan for the project. The following is what was implemented: Implementation of the NanoCom AX.100 Mode 5 encoder Implementation of the NanoCom AX.100 Mode 6 encoder Implementation of the Reed-Muller RM (1, 6) encoder and decoder

  • My experience so far in GSoC 2021... Introduction To begin with, it is worth mentioning that this article is my personal experience of participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and as a member of an Open Source project. As a computer science student, I have little experience with real-world projects. My work so far was part of an exercise and the result was judged only by the final grade. So, wanting to go beyond the student stage and become a real developer, I made the instant decision to participate in the GSoC event. This decision is one of the most beautiful decisions I have made so far... And the journey is not over yet! Let me mention, then, the basics for both the GSoC event and the organization in which I participate, the Libre Space Fundation. About Google Summer of Code (GSoC) The Google Summer of Code (GSoC) event aims to introduce participating students to the world of Open Source software development. It is a program lasting 10 weeks, which for 2021, is active for students from March 29 to August 31. During this period, the student is a member of an open source organization and his purpose is to participate in one of his projects. The student, in addition to writing code, becomes an active member of the organization and gains the best possible experience through this event. About Libre Space Foundation
