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

Seems like everyone has forgotten about PARASOL... Which already did this over a decade ago! :-)

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

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

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

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 :-)

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.

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.

Come già anticipato nel post del NOAA-15 (RIP), adesso anche i satelliti USA futuri sono stati praticamente tutti annullati o lobotomizzati. Ricordo che attualmente nessun satellite USA copre l'orbita delle 08 (ex NOAA 15) e il successore JPSS-3 è previsto... nel 2032!!! bsky.app/profile/afre...

Just got the news that the US Navy will *not* be stopping distribution of DMSP data in the end! As of now it's planned to keep SSMIS data distribution until September 2026.

Here is the thing. Amateurs figure out how to get satellite data needed for hurricane forecasts after the US administration decided to turn off the supply www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/s...

Radio geeks reveal how to access crucial hurricane data after US Department of Defense cut it off - www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/s... "Hams for the win: Amateur-built decoder taps SSMIS satellite data amid NOAA cutoff" #trump

Il nostro (mio e di @aang23.satdump.org ) lavoro di decodifica di SSMIS, strumento essenziale per rilevare e caratterizzare gli uragani, ma interrotto per motivi politici, ha attirato l'attenzione del Register che ha dedicato un articolo al nostro #SatDump! www.theregister.com/2025/07/21/s...

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.

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

This means weather centers could very well use #SatDump to still get the data they need for hurricane analysis, right now, in real time, with simple equipment. WSF-M also coming. @weatherprof.bsky.social @michaelrlowry.bsky.social @rarohde.bsky.social @altnoaa.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/aang...

Today's afternoon NOAA 21 image. A nice pass through my trees. Lots of rain in the interior where they need it.

Proba-V Calibration Moon from the Végétation instrument.

2025-06-02 0326 UTC - Arctic Weather Satellite composites. I'm glad to see this sat is finally transmitting data again! Decoded nicely with #SatDump, after a minor patch to handle bad data caused by interference

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.

I can confirm that our client, @uvsq.bsky.social , operator of UVSQSat-NG, downloads between 20 and 80 megabytes per pass with their Adrelys AGS-3 ground station... running Satdump ! ;) We are very proud to have been involved in this project, both on the ground and in space !
