Hi,

Will this size base be ok for a L-band 5 turn. Wanna get into Elektro N2/3. I’m down in south africa

Base is 100x150mm copper pcb

Thanks!

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

I got tired of how the min altitude on gpredict did not apply to the items on the home screen, and that it does not have a list of all the upcoming passes. I wrote my own gui satellite pass predictor.

I've just received a nice APT image from NOAA-18 with SatDump. For some reason, SatDump seems to think that the image was received from NOAA-15, despite NOAA-18 being selected in Processing as well as Tracking. This results in Mongolia, Korea etc. being drawn on my images (upside-down, too) instead of western Europe.

Can I reprocess these images with the correct map overlay?

EDIT: I did not record neither baseband nor audio, since this usually isn't necessary...

The final run is THIS WEEKEND - Please see below for details!

1) Results from 23rd/24th November

HRPT/LRPT 221 projection. 35-ish passes

Here is the 23rd/24th November 2024 Megaprojection, 7750 x i-cant-remember-how-high pixels. I had a bigger version online but the link has expired. This wasn't a major test, but we still had a lot of participants. We had less folk in the US/Caribbean this time, and the folk in India/Bangladesh were out of action, but they will all be back for the actual run THIS weekend. Here's the full credits list for this projection from both DerekSGC's Discord and the FB APT Group (sorry if I missed any details!):

Australia: Ben Seaton-Klerk
Alaska: Leon Laidlaw N1TX
Canada: Tihomir Kiko Zaric VA3TZA
Portugal: u/t0nito
Germany: u/LEDFlighter DO8JK
Brazil: Marcio Belucci PU2YYB
Mauritius: Ashwin Mandary 3B8GL
Poland: Slawek Kilmek-Wojsa

2) Info for 30th Nov/1st Dec

We are still looking for extra help with this, but we are slowly filling in most of the landmasses. You can sign up and give us your details here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TKlwnO8NY7tNF7BB8cw_VnUSPreX-nwFG8gQBDQxMMY/

All of the information you need to participate in this project is in that document, including the link to the form to submit your final files this weekend. Please do make sure you read everything carefully in here - we think we have answered most questions, and most of you are experienced at Sat RX anyway. Just please keep to lunchtime/afternoon NOAA 18 and Meteor M2-4 captures so that we can have the most light. Remember: we're not after APT, please.

Missing areas still desired:

* Canary Islands (really, REALLY would love to fill this. It would be maybe possible to directly link up Portugal to South America)
* Northern Australia/Indonesia kind of area (to connect up Australia with Asia. If you're in Darwin or Indonesia you'd be a HUGE help)
* Africa (specifically near the Equator and South Africa) - we had some interest here but want to be doubly sure.
* Hawaii - would just be nice to have it covered, don't care if LRPT or HRPT.
* Better -stan coverage - We currently have a rough view of the sides, better central coverage (Afghanistan and surroundings) would be really helpful for a longer Europe to Asia connection

Thank you to everyone who has helped out over the last few weeks, and honestly we're all really looking forward to it over on the Discord. Good luck to everyone and do remember to fill out a failed pass form (shown below, and here are some links to blanks [.ODT | Image] ) if you fuck something up ;-)

Hi everyone. I watched a video about othernet in 2024 and I started to be curious about this topic. The man in the video used hardware purcahsed in past and not available now in othernet website.

It's possible to know some alternatives to do this activities or way to fetch something that is usable?

Thanks in advance to every answer.

I'm tracking "METEOR-M2 4", NORAD ID 59051, in Gpredict. It is NOT over Denmark now:

At the same time, I'm tracking the satellite "METEOR-M2 4", NORAD ID 59051, in SatDump. It is visible from Denmark now, and approaching a maximum elevation of 84 degrees:

Who's right, and what's wrong?

Does anyone have any idea how to create and import a 6dof model into STK ? I am desiging a mission for a earth observation satellite that is going into LEO.
