Decentralized satellite communications for Bitcoin & Nostr
Hardware designs and documentation for BitSatRelay ground station terminals.
This is part of a three-component integrated system. Each repository handles a different part of the BitSatRelay network:
| Repository | Purpose | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BitSatRelay | Terminal-HQ Bridge | Main codebase - Nostr to satellite bridge |
| BitSatRelay-Ground-Station | Ground Station Hardware | Hardware designs for satellite TX/RX terminals (this repo) |
| lnbits-bitsatcredit | Payment System | LNbits extension for Lightning micropayments |
All three components work together to create the complete BitSatRelay network.

⚠️ WORK IN PROGRESSThis repository contains hardware prototypes and design documentation. Complete build guides and software integration instructions are being prepared.
Current Status: Hardware design finalized, documentation in progress
Terminal-HQ is the main base station that bridges Nostr relay communications to satellite transmission.
System Integration:
- Runs BitSatRelay software for Nostr to satellite bridge
- Uses lnbits-bitsatcredit payment system for Lightning micropayments
- Provides satellite TX/RX capability for global decentralized communications
Below are images of the Terminal-HQ base station R&D process and final design iterations:
Complete hardware specifications, wiring diagrams, and build guides will be available in the /docs folder
