Ground Control System

About Us:

The GCS team is responsible for the design and implementation of a ground control station using Python. It has the distinction of being the only entirely software-based team on the project. The GCS is being completely redesigned this year, which will provide students with an interesting challenge. The GCS is critical to the overall project as it is the main communication link between all the vehicles and the operators. The GCS team is responsible for frontend development of a graphical user interface, backend development of data storage and information processing algorithms, and radio transmissions of mission tasks and details to and from the vehicles.
