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

День тому

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.

Hahahaha, M34T, you're hilarious. Are you a flat earther, or? 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.

@Tjthemedic 5 років тому

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.

@DasIllu 6 років тому

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

@richard-hawley 6 років тому

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 років тому

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 5 років тому

+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.

Tj Wiets, direct broadcast services continue to be available from all NOAA POES and GOES spacecraft. However, the low rate analog formats demonstrated in this video (for N15,18,19) are no longer produced in the newer spacecraft. 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.

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").

I agree that it would be faster and less troublesome but i woud not watch if it was only an aleatory exercise. Learning first hand is different than downloading información from others. Analog to how watching somebody test and experiment is much more interesting than seeing somebody pull together stuff.

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...

@AaronEddieHYo 7 років тому

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.

@kenneththomsen8503 7 років тому

I'm sure flat earthers believe that these "satellites" are actually just NASA broadcasted signals with fake images! :P

@TheSteveSteele 5 років тому

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.

@TheSteveSteele 5 років тому

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.

@keithroy7884 6 років тому

Well done! I see you are learning by doing. Some tips: Use RG58 coax, with a double mesh shield and foil for maximum noise attenuation, and keep runs relatively short for less signal loss. I didn't get a good look at your attempt at a helical antenna, but possibly you were trying to combine elements of both normal mode and axial mode antennas? A normal mode helical would have diameter and pitch less than a quarter wavelength, and would be omnidirectional only at right angles, in the roughly doughnut pattern. It does not have any better gain than a dipole, but remember that a dipole has good gain only front and back, and much less towards the ends. Like holding your arms out to the sides while facing the signal is "front". What would really work best is the axial mode helical. It is very directional lengthwise, so you would have to point it at the satellite, but I think you have the ability to do that, and you get much better signal gain. You would need a diameter of the wavelength, with a pitch that gives you a quarter wave between each turn. You have to match the circular polarization the same direction as the signal. Best to mount it to a circular plate for a ground plane. This could get a bit unwieldy, but would be a great project, and would improve your signal quality greatly. Looking forward to future projects!
