A waterfall of the ESCAPADE-Gold telemetry signal. It shows that there are significant changes in power over time. There is a gap caused by a problem with the recording. The signal resumes at a slower data rate after the gap.

New blog post: Decoding ESCAPADE. Here I decode a recording of the ESCAPADE spacecraft that I did with an Allen Telescope Array antenna the day after they were launched. The modulation is PCM/PSK/PM with rate=1/2 Turbo code. The telemetry uses CCSDS TM frames and Space Packets.

Yea, or don't turn it on near airports I guess

Gosh, I hope you ordered one of the Aliexpress Clifford HackRFs!

HackRF does have bias-t, but it won't power a Sawbird+ for instance.
Saveitforparts did test his discovery dish s band feed with his HackRF and it seemed to power it fine though.

Metop C pass from this morning.
I went portable to get this, just down the road to a park.
Small line/signal drop was when I went to move the laptop and the wind caught the dish! 😅

Interestingly the fire is still raging up north, but I can't see it on the Fire Temp compo.

Just got a good western pass of Aqua. The fire up north is, uh, quite big.
A huge thanks to Julia from the SatDump dev team for all of her work on the fire detection composites, looks like it's pretty spot on!
Images are True Color composites (ieq), Fire Detection, and #SatDump demod stats.

We did alright today.

Amateur hypersonics.

Thank you for confirming!

huh, the gif renders fine in when writing the post.
not sure why it's not playing in the post.

FY-3E XEUVI gif from an early evening pass today.
Images were processed with mogrify and then convert was used to make the gif.
Many thanks to @lego11.bsky.social for the commands!
