COSMOS Club at MIT-WPU is a student-driven organization dedicated to advancing space science through hands-on projects in Ham Radio, satellite communication, radio astronomy, and astrophotography.
With a sophisticated six-antenna setup, the station tracks and downlinks data from key satellites such as GK-2A, FengYun, and Elektro-L3 across S-band, L-band, UHF, VHF, and HF frequencies.
The ground station, built under the COSMOS Club at MIT World Peace University, is a student-led initiative focused on satellite communication and space science. It enables real-time reception and decoding of data from various weather and Earth observation satellites. The system uses software-defined radios with custom antennas.
This platform supports research, educational outreach, and participation in global satellite data competitions. COSMOS Club actively engages in cutting-edge research.
