Document how to analyze a new satellite with Polaris
As part of #151 (closed), I had to do an analysis for two satellites that were not already supported by Polaris (QUBIK-1 and QUBIK-2). The procedure I used it outlined in https://gitlab.com/saintaardvark/qubik-analysis, but it would be good to document this.
A rough outline of the simple case:
- Assumptions:
- Your satellite is supported by SatNOGS
- Has a decoder
- SatNOGS network is catching observations from your satellite
- Add link to whatever satellite operator-specific documentation they might have
- Your satellite is supported by SatNOGS
- Procedure:
- Edit satellites.json locally to add your satellite
- Clarify what each of the fields are for
- If importing: [see repo]
- If local: [clarify format we can import]
- Edit satellites.json locally to add your satellite
- Submit issue to have your satellite added
- Issue
- MR
Bonus points: explaining what a normalizer is and why we want/use one.
