Smart Radio Telescope Observation des Étoiles et Astronomie application pour Android description
Radio Telescope is the mobile client for a self-built satellite-dish radio telescope with a motorised Azimuth / Elevation / Polarization mount.
The app connects over your local WiFi to the telescopes Raspberry Pi controller (a FastAPI service) and lets you:
- Point the dish by entering horizontal (Az/El) or equatorial (RA/Dec) coordinates
- Drive the three axes manually and run the homing routine
- Watch live position, motion and status telemetry pushed from the mount
- Browse a built-in star and constellation catalogue on a sky-view canvas
This is a hardware companion app: it does nothing on its own. It requires the matching open-source telescope hardware and Raspberry Pi backend, which are part of the same project. The app talks only to a device you run yourself on your own network — it contacts no external servers and collects no data.
Built as a school demonstrator for radio astronomy.
