@kipuka Wauw.
That is interesting. I will surely check it out.

I came in from the radio side of this (direct reception of weathersatellites with #satdump) into this, so the science part is still pretty now to me.

Un grand merci! 😀

Skipped a few years in the #SDR satellite scene & … wow. #SatDump is like coming back to find your dusty toolbox replaced with a spaceship. It’s a one-stop solution for turning #satellite signals into usable data and imagery. Time to dive back: https://www.satdump.org/about/

The Register

Trying to get our APAC (143e) STDC feed back up and running. Its been down a while, I've had a few goes at it and just cant figure out why #satdump is not decoding this satellite signal.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Got my C-Band 1200 burst feed going again today.
8 hour graph shown.
One of these days #satdump or #SDRReceiver might work on C-Band and we can ditch VAC.
Its a very tricky mode. Not many ground stations pull it off. Some cool stuff on it, totally worth the effort.

Hacker Public Radio ~ The Technology Community Podcast

Hacker Public Radio is a podcast that releases shows every weekday Monday through Friday. Our shows are produced by the community (you) and can be on any topic that is of interest to hackers and hobbyists.

I spent a good part of today trying to get #satdump installed on a raspberry pi so I could record outside. The deb package isn't working, building it myself was a long and repetitive process of tracking down libraries to satisfy cmake, and after all that the TLE's still didn't update (I checked out nightly, this should be fixed!).

Meanwhile, my old beater laptop (which does have satdump installed but has a battery life of 15 seconds) has been set up to record #noaa images automatically but I'm not confident It'll work inside
