Hello,
I'm faced with a challenge that a friend has given me. I need to find the date the image was taken and the satellite that took it. I've done a lot of research and I know that the satellite is normally NOAA-19. However, I'm having trouble finding the date. To do this, I'd need to know the exact date on which the satellite passed over my location, and then look at the weather archives to find the date. Would you know how I could find out the exact date by knowing the trajectory shown on the image?
Many thanks for your help
Hello, i am looking to start a magnetorquer manufacturing business, I want to ask if anyone here has experience with magnetorquers (buying them, making them, using them) that could tell me their experience with them and some insights that could potentially aid my journey into starting this business.
Here is the video which the image came from. 😀
Hello all, I have recently been doing some time lapse photography of the night sky and have seen this object a few times. What is this?
I along with many others are nearing completion of senior studies and want to pursue a career in satellite building for space companies like NASA and so on. Although my dream occupation is clear, I am unsure of how to get there as an Australian yet to graduate. (What degrees do you need, what realistic ATAR score would give you the best chances.) Do aerospace and mechanical engineers work on satellites or is it a different league of engineering. I have so many questions and want to know from those who are more knowledgable. So satellite engineers of reddit, please share your story.
I saw something odd flying over this set of coordinates on 11/19 at about 6pm AST, moving from west to east. This odd aircraft did not have a front headlight but it had a wide and short side light beam.
Is it possible to identify any satellites that may have passed by this area on this day? I checked flightradar24 and it wasn't picking up this particular object.
Coordinates: 18.454419, -66.062076
I just saw many satellites traveling in the same general direction. They seemed to appear to the west spaced about 10 seconds apart. It was not starlink as I have seen that. They were not connected. I live east of Salt Lake City it was 5:30 am. Any ideas?
