 === Detection station software Installation package ===
-For data acquisition we are using our open-source software [[http://mlab-project.github.io/radio-observer/|radio-observer]] which reads input from SDR receiver and generates FITS files with raw signal recording and stream of events connected to visualization program [[https://github.com/MLAB-project/pysdr|PySDR]] for on site interactive visual inspection.

 === Station maintenance software  ===
-Measuring station is complex computer based system which needs internal self checking, failure detection, calibration and continuous maintenance data collection. A software doing these tasks is needed. This software should generate reports about station health and upload these files to the data server.

 === Solar flares detection station ===
-Combination of radio-observer with the Basic radio astronomy station design gets opportunity to detect radio bursts exited by solar flares. These data are useful for Heliophysics. But Solar radio burst is weak compared to local man made noise and signal must be cleared before detection and classification.

Meteor trails must be interpreted in physical context (meteoroid explosions, trail clouds coveradge, etc.). After this, geometric parameters can be delivered and orbit parameters can be calculated.
