2.12 Satellite database

The Satellite database provides a structured view of satellites, operators, and antennas. Each category is represented by a distinct table. Users can navigate between these tables using the menu options and access additional details for a selected satellite.

The title bar provides access to the three different datasets:

• Satellites (default)
  • displays the list of satellites stored in the database
• Satellite operators
  • each satellite belongs to an satellite operator
  • here you can store for example contact information for line-ups
• Antennas
  • list of configured antennas (and the related devices) which should use the database
  • here you defined the satellite positions an antenna can use to point to a satellite

You can switch between these different tables by clicking on the buttons at the top of this page.

On a system without installed SatDB or if the PostgreSQL Database is not reachable an error message will be display: Error DB not reachable. In this case, please check your database installation.
