Cost

Add a module, not a rack unit.

Today a station is built antenna by antenna. Each dish or Yagi feeds its own rack of modems and receivers, the most expensive equipment in the station, and every unit carries its own paid licences. Operators set the equipment up for each pass by hand.

€107,000one S-band telemetry modem, per antenna

$2,387a USRP B210 software-defined radio

$245k to $398kone X-band high-rate receiver, per antenna

$15k to $18kUSRP B210 + server, enough for the 15 Msym/s we decoded

It doesn't have to be like this.

With TytoSpace each antenna needs only a software-defined radio and a small edge node. One GPU server processes every antenna, passes are planned and run automatically, and a new mission is a software module, not a licence upgrade.

TytoSpace also does what those boxes do not: it keeps the raw recording of every pass, recovers frames offline and identifies unknown signals.

Public procurement records: two Cortex CRT-Quantum units for €214,001 (DLR, 2021, TED 412189-2021); Cortex HDR receivers $244,944 to $398,000 (NASA, 2018 to 2023, USAspending). Ettus list prices. Hardware purchase only: the TT&C modems also transmit and range, which TytoSpace does not, and the TytoSpace software licence is not included. The X-band figure covers the highest rate TytoSpace has decoded so far, QPSK 15 Msym/s from NOAA-20; faster links need a wider SDR such as a USRP X410 ($33,020 list), which narrows the gap.

Uplink is excluded on both sides.

Plan, AI-powered

Every pass is planned before it rises.

TytoSpace Plan computes every pass over every antenna from current orbital elements, gives each one a quality score and books the antenna, the band and the processing in one step. Two bookings can never hold the same antenna, and the plan is sent to each edge node as a signed bundle, so a station keeps working offline.

Learned models predict which contacts will actually deliver data, using orbit geometry, weather and space weather, and an optimizer turns the predictions into a schedule for every antenna, around the clock. When something changes, the plan is rebuilt and pushed to the edge.

More data

Two chances at every pass.

A standard decoder catches what it can while the satellite is overhead. TytoSpace keeps the raw recording and decodes it a second time, with methods a real-time receiver cannot afford. On the same two recordings it found 6.7 times as many telemetry frames and 16% more image frames.

Same recording, two decoders

	Standard decoder	TytoSpace
CELESTA telemetry	3 framesgr-satellites	20 frames6.7 times as many
Meteor-M2-2 image	3,198 framesSatDump 1.2.2	3,700 frames16% more

Telemetry: CELESTA, SatNOGS observation 6284801. gr-satellites decoded 3 frames, TytoSpace 20 from the same IQ; every frame passes CRC-16/X.25 and the 3 reference frames are among the 20. Values are the documented beacon fields in engineering units; the time axis is the analysis window, not onboard time. Image: one public Meteor-M2-2 recording, SatDump 1.2.2 3,198 frames, TytoSpace 3,700 (+502), every SatDump frame retained. The IQ trace is drawn for illustration. Methods: timing and phase hypotheses on overlapping windows, a channel model learned from validated frames with a Viterbi sequence detector, soft-list decoding; a frame counts only when its own CRC passes.

Modules

Build the chain you need.

Every stage of the receive chain is a module, and each one runs on the cheapest hardware that can do it. Ready-made modules cover 642 satellite profiles, so most missions need no new code. Your own module plugs in at any tier: on the FPGA, on the GPU or on the CPU.

FPGAOn the radio: channel selection, Doppler correction, filtering and decimation, loaded before each pass so only a narrow stream leaves the antenna.
GPUHeavy parallel work: hypothesis search, Viterbi and LDPC decoding
CPUReed-Solomon, framing, CRC checks and products

GPU kernels: FIR filtering, K=7 Viterbi and DVB-S2 FEC on an NVIDIA A40. 27 demodulator and decoder modules; 642 satellite profiles have an executable receive plan, imported from open catalogues and qualified per mission.

Identification

Unknown signal? TytoSpace works it out.

A traditional receiver is configured for the signal it expects. TytoSpace starts from the spectrum: it finds every carrier in the band, then tries combinations of modulation, symbol rate and coding for each one at the same time, spread across CPU cores and the GPU. A signal is named only when a combination yields valid frames. This is how TytoSpace locked onto PROBA-2 on 25 October 2026 without a prepared profile.

Inspect

See what went wrong, not just that it did.

Zoom into any stretch of the pass. The lab marks gaps, clipping, gain steps and spurs, traces the measured carrier, and explains each finding in plain words.

Frames

The source address is selected in the tree, and its bytes are outlined in the hex view.

How we work

Defence work is delivered per project: the radios, the signals of interest, the deployment and the acceptance tests are agreed up front, and the system is handed over to run on your hardware.

Evidence

Measured on the same samples.

Each comparison gives TytoSpace and the reference receiver identical input. A frame counts only when it passes its CRC or Reed-Solomon check. Every number below comes with its sample size and its limits.

+53%

Valid packets, 266 recordings

On 266 archived CANVAS recordings (FSK 9600), TytoSpace recovered 6,220 unique CRC-checked packets. Dire Wolf and gr-satellites together recovered 4,066. TytoSpace found at least one extra packet in 141 of the 266 recordings.

One mission, and a cohort we also used during development. TytoSpace uses much more compute than the reference receivers and missed 4 packets they found.

Image frames, Meteor-M2-2

On one public Meteor-M2-2 recording, TytoSpace decoded 3,700 frames where SatDump 1.2.2 decoded 3,198. Every SatDump frame is also in the TytoSpace output. Most of the extra frames come from the start of the pass, before SatDump produces its first output.
