Satellites are whirring all around our little planet, but the lack of tools for accessing them have limited past research to stationary satellites or to ones with documented communications protocols. This lecture presents the conversion of a maritime L-band dish to be controlled by a combination of open source hardware and good ol' fashioned unix daemons. The dish is operated remotely or in a standalone fashion, scanning the neighborly skies day and night with little or no supervision.
