This takes me down a memory lane! For my undergrad capstone project, we made a cubesat tracker for our university's satellite using a RPi/Arduino/Software-defined-radio to receive transmissions every time it passed over us. I cringe a little looking at the code now - but it worked!
I agree, cubsats are a wonderful way, for college students even, to tinker with space(-adjacent) tech.
