You might look at JStation, a satellite ground station written in
Java.

Certainly, Visual Basic has no place in a serious academic computer
science environment, although this is probably an electrical engineering
project; I suppose they allow that sort of thing there.  You might add
Java to your list of good things to learn some day.

It might also be nice to have a library of objects that implement the
AX.25 protocols...
