The earth as seen from ESA's JUICE's JMC. Data still from @amsat-dl.org

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 28/09/2026

JUICE (ESA) images from JMC again. Received by @amsat-dl.org in Bochum :-)

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 26/05/2026

Bunch of telemetry as expected.

ESCAPADE X-Band from @amsatdl Bochum with some ASCII data. Turbo 1115 + CRC, the usual. Funny structure though...

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 02/04/2026

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...

METEOR-M 2-3 LRPT Projection of a few passes received by my station this morning, as Paris got some (nowadays quite rare) snow.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 23/01/2026

It's funny how sometimes things come full circle... :-) (Work-In-Progess stuff in SatDump v2.0.0)

2212

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 01/01/2026

Happy new year everyone! 2026 should be the year of the return of LRIT / HRIT in Europe, as well as quite a few good SatDump additions & v2.0.0... But let's not spoil yet :-)

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 14/11/2025

Paris Nord, last train at 22:30. Of course that excludes suburban traffic, but still far from what most of Europe offers in comparison... And yet, we're still canceling the Paris/Vienna/Berlin NightJets.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 30/08/2025

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.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 19/08/2025

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.

2186

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 17/08/2025

As of now there is only VCID 8/9 present, that is instrument and spacecraft telemetry, previously on S-Band which now looks quite empty.

090

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 08/08/2025

Même en saturant volontairement il n'y a rien malheureusement. Après tout - ce n'est pas très utile dans la majorité des cas comparé à de l'IR.

110

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 08/08/2025

Non, ils ne peuvent pas. Le visible n'est pas du tout assez sensible. À part des instruments dédiés rien ne le fait. Pour l'instant c'est uniquement VIIRS, OLS et MERSI-LL. Bientôt sur MetOp-SG également. Même sur des données brutes ce n'est pas possible.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 17/07/2025

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

050

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 12/07/2025

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.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 01/07/2025

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.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 21/06/2025

Proba-V Calibration Moon from the Végétation instrument.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 05/06/2025

Today, UVSQSat-NG was at 5M BPSK (instead of 2.5M the previous days). The same images are yesterday were sent in large, at a higher compression ratio. Here's 2 of the new ones.

0101

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 04/06/2025

A few more from today... Far too many to post them all.

170

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 03/06/2025

It also transmitted what I believe to be flat-field calibration images (in a 16-bit RAW format).

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 03/06/2025

Today's UVSQSat-NG Dump (@uvsqsat ). This time it dumped at 2.5M BPSK. Over 120 images received total. Here's a few.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 02/06/2025

UVSQSat-NG Imagery received by station this morning. It's overexposed though.

051

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 01/06/2025

No imagery this time around... Seems to be mostly radiation sensor data and telemetry.

260

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 01/06/2025

And here's the frames. However, the ASM (syncword) has a serious problem... Parts of it are missing nearly in half of the frames. Still works, but that really doesn't help either.

UVSQSAT-NG on S-Band. Doesn't seen to be very circular in polarization however.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 26/04/2025

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 :-).

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 06/04/2025

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.

190

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

That data above is from ~4 days worth of dumps recorded on my setup on S-Band.

090

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! :-)

1141

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 27/03/2025

A few Proba-2 images. Had been a while since I had last decoded this one.

0120

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 09/03/2025

Jason-3 data dump to Kiruna @ 2215.92, on a RHCP feed even though it's LHCP.

FengYun-3E Telemetry on S-Band

0130

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 09/03/2025

Lots of interference, but PROBA-1 is still alive & well on S-Band. It is also still dumping some data surprisingly... Unfortunately no HRC this time.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 08/03/2025

MetOp-C AHRPT moments ago. Weather still seems pretty clear over most of Europe...

0101

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 23/01/2025

MetOp-B is exhibiting some sort of modulator defect... Great... First : MetOp-B, second MetOp-C.

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 28/12/2024

NOAA-21 (JPSS-2) pass tonight, automatically tracked. Still far from perfect, quite the opposite, but a nice DNB view anyway!

1160

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 23/12/2024

The RER E extension in Paris (finally with decent service) is already pretty useful. And the older MI2N rolling stock doesn't even look that out of place. (Yes, this is my first non-satellite-related post in a while, but why not?)

0120

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 22/12/2024

More MSI, it looks pretty good honestly.

0141

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 22/12/2024

ATLID instrument, this is a Lidar showing cloud profiles. Pretty awesome!

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 22/12/2024

Decoding ESA's EarthCARE, MSI instrument. It's very narrow, only ~180km, at 500m/px. Processing isn't perfect yet, but already got some basic projections working! This is all from a X-Band dump to Svalbard received by Andrew (MrFentazis).

2161

Aang23 @aang23.satdump.org · 21/12/2024

Yep, exactly. On lower frequencies / dish sizes you don't really care, but going up there's no choice, or it's unusable. I've done the same with a bolt mount. Here's a picture taken during assembly :
