Accessing raw data for the waterfall plot

Hi @deepakv ,

welcome to SatNOGS!

the default satnogs station doesn’t upload IQ data currently. @n5fxh described steps for a station owner on how to enable IQ storage on their station (and subsequently use a custom script to upload the data somwhere, see e.g.: Uploading IQ files to S3). There is on-going work to integrate iqzip into gr-satnogs to reduce the IQ filesize which might enable more stations to upload IQ data.

That said, some station operators upload IQ data to AWS, you can find related posts with links to the data by searching this forum (e.g. search for satnogs-iq).


The raw waterfall data isn’t uploaded either currently, but there is on-going work to add absolute timestamps to this data, store it in hdf5 files and upload them. The main motivation behind this is to be able to use this data for orbit determination.

I’m curious, what is your use-case for the raw waterfall data?

Sincerely,
kerel
