Discovery Drive Campaign Now Live!
We're extremely pleased to announce that our campaign for our Discovery Drive automatic antenna rotator is now live on Crowd Supply! Pricing is reduced during the campaign period, so check it out soon!
Discovery Drive is an automatic antenna rotator designed for use with our Discovery Dish product, as well as similarly sized antennas such as Wi-Fi grid and Yagi antennas.
A motorized rotator, such as Discovery Drive, enables precise tracking of fast-moving polar orbiting satellites using a satellite dish or directional antenna. Examples of polar orbiting weather satellites include METEOR-M2, METOP, and FENGYUN. Depending on your location, you may also have access to other interesting satellites that dump data over specific regions.
In addition to public weather data, operators and enthusiasts might be interested in using Discovery Drive to track CubeSats, and amateur radio operators may wish to track amateur radio satellites.
Amateur radio astronomy hobbyists can map the galaxy in the hydrogen line spectrum using Stellarium, or custom software to aim a Discovery Dish with H-Line feed, allowing you to scan multiple parts of the sky in one night.
