TALOS Documentation

TALOS (Tracking, Acquisition, and Link Operation System) is a real-time fleet controller for satellite ground stations. It runs a centralized SGP4 physics engine at 2 Hz, computes Doppler-corrected frequencies, and pushes sub-second pointing and tuning commands to distributed antenna stations over MQTT.

No other open-source ground station network offers real-time multi-station coordination from a central propagator.
