On your PC the TinyGS console displays both your ground station telemetry and that of the entire global network. Satellite sensor data may display battery charge, special sensor data like magnetometer or radiation, and its transmission power. Below is an example:

TinyGS is an open source system for monitoring low earth orbit cube satellites that communicate using LoRa. Most of these satellites ride into space using excess capacity of other missions, like when Space-X deploys its units universities and private companies may purchase a 'taxi' ride for $10-20K. Most cubesats transmit at 433MHz (a few at 915). My ground station consists of a 433MHz ground plane antenna, a bandpass filter and a low noise amp connected to a LilyGo LoRa transceiver. My received data goes to the internet to combine with thousands of other ground stations around the globe.
