NOAA 15 HRPT images

 


In October 2017 I started to receive also the HRPT weather pictures of various satellites including NOAA-15. Due to a failure of the directional antenna system of NOAA-15 it is transmitting only with its omni antenna and thus the signals received on ground are considerably lower. I am using a 2.3m fine-mesh dish with automated tracking. The receiver is an Airspy-Mini SDR. I am using WXTrack for providing the tracking data of the satellites by DDE, PSTRotator using the DDE-data to control the rotator and XHRPT to demodulate the signal. The I/Q data from the Airspy-Mini is streamed via IP to XHRPT by SpyServer which is running on an OdroidXU4 board. Here is a screenshot of the software (if you click on the picture you will get a bigger version):
