New blog post: Decoding ESCAPADE. Here I decode a recording of the ESCAPADE spacecraft that I did with an Allen Telescope Array antenna the day after they were launched. The modulation is PCM/PSK/PM with rate=1/2 Turbo code. The telemetry uses CCSDS TM frames and Space Packets.

Metop C pass from this morning.
I went portable to get this, just down the road to a park.
Small line/signal drop was when I went to move the laptop and the wind caught the dish! 😅

NOAA 21 from this afternoon
True Color Composite (ieq)
221 False Color Composite (eq)
Fire Temperature RGB composite
Interestingly the fire is still raging up north, but I can't see it on the Fire Temp compo.

Just got a good western pass of Aqua. The fire up north is, uh, quite big.
A huge thanks to Julia from the SatDump dev team for all of her work on the fire detection composites, looks like it's pretty spot on!
Images are True Color composites (ieq), Fire Detection, and #SatDump demod stats.

FY-3E XEUVI gif from an early evening pass today.
Images were processed with mogrify and then convert was used to make the gif.
Many thanks to @lego11.bsky.social for the commands!

Happy Friday afternoon!
Here's a True Color composite from Fengyun-3D from just now.
This cloud cover is a welcome arrival given the 30C+ temps we've had over the past couple days.
