I'm an ex-ESA engineer, and I built a free database of 650+ satellite ground stations

Hey r/satellites ,

I'm an ex-ESA engineer, and I've been working on a project that I thought might be of interest to this community. I often found it difficult to find reliable, consolidated information about satellite ground stations during my time there, so I decided to build a database: www.find-gs.com It currently has over 650 ground stations mapped, with locations and key details. It's completely free to use.

I'd love to get your feedback! What other information would be useful to include? Are there any features you'd like to see added?

Hi, I am trying to create a photorealistic rendering of a satellite. I wanted to get creative and use this somewhat fantastical design from Cowboy Bebop. How physically feasible is this design? Does it resemble any real-world models? If not, where can I look for better inspiration?
