It is Barry-1, and the song is “Ode to Joy” :smiley:

And I was wondering some minutes ago what type is this signal and I didn’t think to hear it and then I saw your post. :slight_smile:

EDIT:

Here is one of the several observations where someone can hear it: SatNOGS Network - Observation 8535982

Thanks Fredy! What surprised me is that the music is a few kc down from the 9K6 gmsk. I’ll listen again a few times for sure.

This “music” list is a bit longer now wtih GASPACS, PLATFORM-1 and BARRY-1. I suspect there may be more. :slight_smile:

This is the current anthem of the European Union. Ode to Joy by Ludvig Von Bethoven transmited from Barry-1 satellite. Very interesting… :slight_smile:

Music from Star Wars from Platforma-1 sat. :slight_smile:
Another instance demonstrating that cheerful computer geeks are engaged in the construction of satellites. :slight_smile:
