PANSAT flies through the eclipse

A modified amateur satellite ground station is needed to communicate with PANSAT. The NPS ground station utilizes off-the-shelf software, is micrcomputer-controlled, and is equipped with a spread- spectrum modem. The NPS ground station is similar to a typical amateur radio user station, except it has spacecraft command capability. The NPS ground station is also utilized as a classroom instructional laboratory.
