How to Pull Images from Satellites in Orbit (NOAA 15,18,19 and METEOR M2)

Рет қаралды 1,244,229

Over the past 2 months, me and my friend Artem have been building antennas to receive signals from weather satellites as they pass overhead. This video chronicles our progress through this project and goes through some of the science involved in working with radio and receiving transmissions. We explore how dipoles work and how to build them, and how we built our final double cross antenna. We used an SDR (software defined radio) called a HackRF to do the work of interpreting the received signals and then decoded them with some special software. We pulled images from 4 satellites: NOAA 15, 18 and 19 as well as METEOR M2. The satellites broadcast immediately as they take the images and no images are stored, so we're likely the only ones on earth with these images.

Also, to note - Americans never used Chinese spacecraft to get to orbit, and the usage of the Soyuz capsule to get to the ISS isn't a bad thing, both Russia and the U.S., along with many other countries were involved in the construction of the ISS, an international project. Space shouldn't be about nationalism.

Hahahaha, you know NASA isn't just about "taking us to space and leading the way", right? Most of NASA's work is in Earth science, and monitoring weather. And, most U.S. companies, actually, use American companies to send up their satellites, usually with ULA. NASA's budget goes into way more things than whatever it is that you define as "taking us to space and leading the way" - presumably, flashy launches of humans. NASA still continues to launch probes and missions to space, and if you, for some reason, don't care about robotic exploration, they are currently developing and testing multiple methods of launching humans into space, I'd honestly be surprised if you never heard of the Orion capsule or the SLS. Making this some sort of weird nationalistic thing isn't helping anyone.

Great video. Thank you. I built a quadrifilar helix antenna for NOAA satellite reception about 10 years ago and it worked great. One radio project you might want to try is radio meteor detection. I run a system where I listen for meteors using a 20 meter dipole and monitor an out of range TV station. Meteors temporarily ionize the air creating a path that can cause the out of range station to come in for a moment. My system counts and collects data but it is fun to even just listen to the "ping" sounds when monitoring CW or SSB mode especially during a meteor shower.

Just found this. I actually built a WEFAX radio kit from MAPLIN Electronics back in the early 90s (the kit was called MapSat). It used a cross-dipole and I added a pre-amp to pick up these same NOAA and METEOR weather satallites. the audio went into a DAC box which had cards that slotted in which locked onto the signal parts for the selected format. This then sent signals out to an 8 pin output and passed into a computer via a printer port (or I/O card). I wrote machine code on an Amstrad CPC and Amiga to display them. Had to manually adjust the frequecy (around 135.5 Mhz) to account for doppler shift as the satellite passed over. Good times. Geostationary satellites are much more complicated. But a challenge.

@ab8yy 6 жыл бұрын

Just a comment on this. We are talking about satellites. WEFAX is typically a transmission over HF or Short Wave frequencies. Many programs for satellite decoding will work on WEFAX, but that would be something different. The signal can sound a lot the same, but you would need a short wave receiver and long outside antenna to get the WEFAX signals.

@coriscotupi 6 жыл бұрын

+Steve Smith Exactly. While one can in principle receive satellite imagery with WEFAX, the signals as you said do not come directly from satellites, but are re-broadcast via HF (so, from ground stations). In the early 90s I had great fun with WEFAX. I received mainly Sigwx charts from meteorological stations thousands of km away, using an FSK demodulador connected to the PC's audio card "line in" port and "PC HF Facsimile" software from company called SSC (which unfortunately no longer does business in this weather Rx niche). I consistently got very good, clear images.

Hey there, just a quick advice... Instead of wood use if possible MF protective electrical tubing. At least here in europe it is easy to optain in DIY shops and from electro resellers. Wood, especially when wet acts as a conductor. The effect might seem small at first, but when you take in consideration that you are dealing with sub micro volt signals... every single bit counts. Oh and since we're on topic: with the tubes you can also easily build helical antennas. Just wrap your copper around it. It hast a much better suppression of enviromental noise and a far better gain. You could even build an array of four Helicals with a bearable footprint and weight. Contact your local hams, ARRL, DARC and what not. There are always people happy to help you get a hold on this hobby. vy73

The newer spacecraft (including the partner instruments on the NASA EOS and MetOp A/B spqcecraft) produce only High Rate ("digital") data that require the decoding tools demonstrated in the video.

@@bryanbreen7943 This will always be the case with digital broadcasts as by definition the broadcast is simply a number it is the interpretation of that number that gives the versatility. That fact actually reminds me of the time they tried to crack down on sharing the broken CSS key and finding other ways to encode a number became a meme. Turns out this works well both ways you can encode anything in a number and you can encode a number in pretty much anything too especially when you have a computer and anything it produces is literally just encoding something in a number of arbitrary length.

The great thing about software-defined radio (or software-defined anything) is that any typical desktop or laptop PC built or bought in the last decade has so much processing power that it can do just about anything that once required a dedicated chip or chipset. Not that dedicated chips aren't better or are no longer used but you'd be surprised what your PC could emulate with the correct software and relevant I/O device. With a TV/radio dongle (£8), a midi keyboard (£45) and a blu-ray drive (£23) I can pick up and enjoy TV, radio and satellite broadcasts, I can make studio-sounding music (though I'm shit at it) or I can play Playstation 3 games. Hell, with a decent graphics card and a VR headset you can now disappear into games like Skyrim and surround yourself with dragons, it's a far cry from the days I was typing code in BASIC on a ZX Spectrum...

The fact that they had to follow the signal source as it moved across the sky AND it produced an image of a large portion of the United States tells us that satellites exist and move very fast. Even the highest flying drone or balloon would not be able to get a single image that large. Plus, if you look at any airplane, you'll notice that its GPS antenna is located on the top of the airplane (in the direction of space) rather than on the bottom (in the direction of some "Earth-based tower").

Hello, With the moon in mind, Where's a 24 live feed of the earth from the moon? There's no way. Where's unbroken dash cam or astronaut helmet footage of a real trip from earth's surface to space? Never. Search "satellites are on balloons". See videos. (Also interesting "ISS HOAX") "Nasa green screens" e.t.c also. Best wishes

Results would be inconclusive. You'd need to be far away to prove the globe, or else you're just custom tailoring a composite image to fit the globe mask.

Strange Faction They are not experiencing those temperature extremes like you imagine because the molecular density in and above the thermosphere is so little that the satellite might not encounter molecules for the transfer of heat to take place for long periods of time. In other words, something in space only encounters heat when it comes in contact with a molecule, and that is rare is space.

FPV Angel What do Zero Gravity (parabolic) flights have to do with passengers in a commercial aircraft flying to different destinations around the world? And no unsupported claims please. You already made one in your last post by claiming “evidence would have to be faked as it always is”. I’m also curious to know what active field research you’re currently involved in concerning this subject.

The water appears to be bent, but in regards to gravity, it's really level because it has the same potential energy. You would think that water always takes a straight level because you are used to small scales like a bathtub or a swimming pool or a barrel or whatever, but here we're talking on a much larger scale

Wait. So let me see if I get this straight. NASA ISN"T lying to us. They are telling us the truth about the earth being round (as if NASA has anything to do with that) and the moon landing and space existing and rockets working in space etc. Then thye hire a cadre of people who go out and deliberately look stupid so the rest of us can go "Really? Can anyone be that stupid?" And they do that so that when they DO lie to us about (undefined) we'll jus tthink it's actually just a bunch of flattards being flattards and ;augh them off but in reality, NASA is (faking the Mars landing, pretending to go to Europa. fill in the blank) even though they totally didn't fake going to the moon. I think that's what you are suggesting here. You do know you are crazier than the craziest conspiretard, don't you?
