Dashboard for Bricsat-2 (NO-103) and PSAT-2 (NO-104)

Satellites & Observations

Out of curiosity I had Bricsat-2 (NO-103) [decayed 2022-04-20] and PSAT-2 (NO-104) [decayed 2023-02-15] (both launched 2019-06-25) linked to the SatNOGS decoder ax25monitor to check how both digipeaters were used.

Then I’ve created a dashboard for Bricsat-2 and another dashboard for PSAT-2.

Wow, PSAT-2 (NO-104) was so cool!! It was my favorite satellite for a long time :grin:… R.I.P

Currently my favorite satellite is UmKA-1 :zany_face:

Well, PSAT-2 was one of the first satellites I remember receiving… I learned A LOT from it.

  • I built my first directional antenna to receive PSAT-2.
  • I learned and practiced Doppler correction.
  • I decoded my first SSTV image from a satellite other than the ISS.
  • I decoded telemetry from a satellite for the first time (I received some packets in BPSK31).

It was a great learning experience (I was relatively young at the time and never had a ham radio operator in my family or social circle).

HERE I’ve saved some images I received from PSAT-2.

Very nice,

if you are interested, we have somewhere archived the data from all the BPSK31 tlm frames received.

Feel free to upload the data.

If it’s AX.25, then the dashboard will display something.

curl --data 'noradID=44354&source=OK2PNG&timestamp=2025-10-06T10:47:00Z&frame=0123456789abcdef&locator=longLat&longitude=8.04E&latitude=48.65N' https://db.satnogs.org/api/telemetry/

Adjust the coordinates to yours, change the timestamp and replace 0123456789abcdef with the plain AX.25 frame (no KISS).
