In a previous post we talked about the SatNOGS project which aims to provide low cost satellite ground stations (where one critical component is currently an RTL-SDR dongle) along with free networking software in order to create a crowd sourced satellite coverage network. The SatNOGS project was also recently the grand prize winner of the Hackaday prize which saw them take almost $200k US dollars of prize money.
Today Hackaday has written a post promoting their project and explaining what it is all about. Check out their post here http://hackaday.com/2015/02/19/ground-stations-are-just-the-beginning-the-satnogs-story and go and support this project by checking out the SatNOGS community.
