After reading about the Mini Satellite rotor project I also want to point
out the one from the
SatNogs tracking project. https://wiki.satnogs.org/SatNOGS_Rotator_v3
Also have to point out their network setup to track and
logging of various satellites.

Their is a whole network of home brew network stations setup that record
the pass and post
audio and water fall of the pass for that stations location. It is a lot of
fun to check out ground
station recording to see if our signal is heard. And they also have
decoders for various modes
and telemetry.
You can get started with a simple no rotor station with a raspberry pi and
a SDR Dongle. I
like the rotor project because the aluminum extrusion material is readily
available and the
3D printed parts can be easily replaced when necessary.
