Importing telemetry from outside the SatNOGS network
At the moment there are two ways to input data into polaris fetch
:
- By automatically downloading it from the SatNOGS network through Glouton
- Manually from a CSV file obtained also from SatNOGS (db.satnogs.org)
In both cases, the telemetry decoder must be available in satnogs-decoders.
We have been approached by some people who would like to try Polaris but their data is not available on SatNOGS (for instance because they would like to test it with an old satellite). I think this use case should be supported so I propose to refactor fetch so we can obtain (and decode) data from both SatNOGS and any external sources.
