Community Doppler Project
NASA’s Community Doppler Project is a citizen-science initiative supporting the crewed Artemis II mission. The project brings together a small, globally distributed group of volunteer stations to passively receive and measure Doppler shifts from the Orion spacecraft as it travels beyond Earth orbit and around the Moon.
WØCY’s Role
Volunteers from the Central Kansas Amateur Radio Club (WØCY) are supporting one of the selected Community Doppler Project stations at NØOY’s site. Our team is providing on-site volunteer support, system integration, testing, and operational assistance during tracking activities.
Using amateur radio techniques, precision timing, and specialized receiving equipment, the team will help collect real-world Doppler data and submit results to NASA for analysis.
This effort reflects WØCY’s long-standing mission of combining hands-on radio science, STEM education, and community engagement.
