How To Get Live Satellite Images Directly From Space

Рет қаралды 450,409

Күн бұрын

By popular request, here's my attempt at a "simple" how-to starter guide for weather satellite decoding. This was surprisingly difficult to put together, taking me several days and multiple attempts to get it right. It also ended up being over 20 minutes long! According to my recent polls, you the viewers want more satellite stuff and longer videos, so hopefully this fits the bill!
The satellites we're looking at in this video are NOAA's polar-orbiting series, NOAA 15, 18, 1n 19. More information about these can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_O...
The satellites transmit data on a variety of frequencies, the easiest for us to use are in the 137mhz VHF range. You can hear these with most ham radios, police scanners, or certain handheld radios that cover VHF bands. You can also use a software defined radio (SDR) connected to a computer. A basic antenna works fine, but a slightly better antenna are the old TV "rabbit ears" set sideways in a "V" shape.
The video has two methods for receiving and processing satellite images. You can just use a cheap handheld radio and your cell phone (method 1), or you can use an SDR and computer (method 2). I'll include some more links to all the hardware and software involved, as well as other walk-through guides.
(I find it helpful to read multiple guides and watch multiple videos when learning a new hobby or skill like this, as one source might miss a detail or be hard to understand).

Quite a lot of what we do in science requires to be as low tech as possible for some stuff (I am an oceanographer), that is because it has to be something that people, not only scientists, can do. If you keep adding more stuff not only complicates things but also increases the chance that a part will go wrong and it won't work. I would guess that's why the "keep it simple, stupid" exists.

I did this some years ago. I ordered a kit from Hamtronics, an R139. 6 channels between 137-138 MHz. I eventually built a QFH antenna and was delighted with the results. That was way long before SDRs were a thing.

I'm still using my R139 and WXtoImg. Was fortunate enough years ago to get a Quorum dedicated WX Satellite antenna with a built-in preamp powered over the coax. When Celestrak changed their domain name my Mac version of WXtoImg was no longer able to grab the Keps from the app but I've found a work-around to get them into the program. I'm as amazed with every pass as I was the very first time I did this and never get tired of it! 73 - Dino KLØS
