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

Since launching in Aug 2025, the 3MI instrument on board Metop-SGA1 has been revealing our atmosphere in a whole new way - measuring polarised light to track dust, smoke and aerosols with extraordinary detail. Our experts have put together a gallery of highlights. See for yourself: bit.ly/4pvbUSY

With the 25m Dwingeloo radio telescope, we just tracked #Tianwen-2 on X-band. It was at an offset of 1.1 degrees from asteroid Kamo'oalewa, which it is going to visit. We recorded IQ data, maybe others can decode this (@destevez.net, @aang23.satdump.org?). Data at data.camras.nl/satellites/r....

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

Following changes by @celestrak.bsky.social, it's possible some users of SatDump (I've already gotten reports, especially for anyone running more than a single SatDump instance) will experience issues updating TLEs. I have no easy way to fix this at the moment...

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...

SCOOP: Trump administration slashes scope of next-generation US weather satellites, eliminating air quality and ocean observing sensors. (1/3)

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.

Receiving @eumetsat.int's MetOp-SG A1's X-Band Direct Broadcast. It is 93.3M QPSK (Huge... Bigger DB yet). 1/2, RS 223 I=4 otherwise with both convolutional vectors swapped. All as expected... Now we just need to wait for EUMETSAT (or well, @esa.int for now) to turn stuff on! :-)

First reception of Metop-SG A1 at my station with @aang23.satdump.org and his Aaronia Spectran V6! Signal strength about the same as JPSS-2, but without nulls. About 10-11 dB on a 33° pass for my 1.2 meter Andrew dish. Signal is filler and telemetry only now, no instrument data yet.

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...

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...

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.

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.

Aang23@aang23.satdump.org · last yr.

A few more from today... Far too many to post them all.

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 !

Today's UVSQSat-NG Dump (@uvsqsat ). This time it dumped at 2.5M BPSK. Over 120 images received total. Here's a few.

UVSQSAT-NG on S-Band. Doesn't seen to be very circular in polarization however.
