Following changes by @celestrak.bsky.social, it's possible some users of SatDump (I've already gotten reports, especially for anyone running more than a single SatDump instance) will experience issues updating TLEs. I have no easy way to fix this at the moment...

MetOp-SG-A1 ( @eumetsat.int ) is now transmitting some data from its MWS and 3MI instruments! Received by @redplanet00.bsky.social. 3MI can be in color, however automating the process will take a bit of time. Support will be pushed to SatDump very soon.

Come già anticipato nel post del NOAA-15 (RIP), adesso anche i satelliti USA futuri sono stati praticamente tutti annullati o lobotomizzati. Ricordo che attualmente nessun satellite USA copre l'orbita delle 08 (ex NOAA 15) e il successore JPSS-3 è previsto... nel 2032!!! bsky.app/profile/afre...

NOAA-15 was decommissioned today at 15:26 UTC, with its AVHRR/3 Instrument still in better state than the last 2 remaining on MetOp-B & C. It wouldn't be so disappointing if this wasn't done for the wrong reasons... Makes you wonder what happened to NOAA.

Receiving @eumetsat.int's MetOp-SG A1's X-Band Direct Broadcast. It is 93.3M QPSK (Huge... Bigger DB yet). 1/2, RS 223 I=4 otherwise with both convolutional vectors swapped. All as expected... Now we just need to wait for EUMETSAT (or well, @esa.int for now) to turn stuff on! :-)

Just got the news that the US Navy will *not* be stopping distribution of DMSP data in the end! As of now it's planned to keep SSMIS data distribution until September 2026.

Demodulating MTG-I1 raw data @ 26Ghz received in Panska Ves. It is 188M OQPSK 1/2 and RS I=5. Unfortunately, it is encrapted. It's very disappointing considering it's supposed to be public life-saving data... S-Band is not encrypted.

ISS SSTV @ 145.8Mhz is seriously weak this time around... Usually would nearly overload and here it barely gets decent at TCA.

This means weather centers could very well use #SatDump to still get the data they need for hurricane analysis, right now, in real time, with simple equipment. WSF-M also coming. @weatherprof.bsky.social @michaelrlowry.bsky.social @rarohde.bsky.social @altnoaa.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aang...

It was recently announced that DMSP SSMIS data wouldn't be available - so with @lego11.bsky.social we decided to add support in SatDump :-) Still lacking more samples (IQ) to do projections, but we can already process SSMIS data. Calibration is likely possible as well.

A long-requested feature in SatDump : SSTV Decoding. It'll be present whenever the first 2.x.x versions drop. Here, an example decoding some Robot 36 IQ from FRAM2. PD120 and a few more are supported, but it's still very experimental of course, and I need to optimize some awful test code ASAP :-).

Playing a bit more with Jason-3 data (now over 10GB worth accumulated over a few weeks, except during FRAM2) while working on what will become SatDump v2.0.0 : The South Atlantic Anomaly is very clearly visible in LPT data. Not 100% certain but this normally is a channel @ ~22KeV.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 29/03/2025

Jason-3 carries a microwave radiometer. Unlike those like MHS, AMSU, MWRI, etc, it only scans a single point at Nadir meant to correlate with the Poseidon-3 radar. Therefore, from a single orbit... You won't see much. And even with 20+ of them, it isn't awesome, but you can see stuff! :-)
