Ground Station Antenna Installation, Feb. 2023

With help from Facilities Administration at OSU (thanks to Patrick Wheeler and Billy Nash especially), the OK Space Sat team finally got our ground station antenna derrick installed on the roof of the Central Dining Services building on the OSU campus.  Now we're working on installing the actual Yagi antenna array and snaking the cables down to our electrical receiving station inside.   We are very excited to be receiving CubeSat radio transmissions in the near future!
