A crash course on hacking satellites

I have always wanted to do something with satellites. Especially with SpaceX and global satellite internet coming. What can I do/learn? What will be valid in the next 5-10 years? I'm not sure where to start.

Cube sats are probably the most accessible way to get involved, other than getting a job where you get paid to work with satellites. "most accessible" is relative, high altitude balloons check a lot of the same boxes and don't require a sponsor to put you on-orbit

I've seen tutorial and projects that consume data from satellites, but I imagine there's not much for the hobbyist outside that.

I think the true hacker would learn by doing. Good luck!

Buy a rtlsdr and start by getting some images from weather satellites
