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.

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.

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.

Même en saturant volontairement il n'y a rien malheureusement.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
