Observation 11924061: METEOR M-2 (40069)

Regarding Observation 11924061

Hello all! I’m new to satellite observations and eager to learn. I’m leaning towards the waterfall here being ground noise with no satellite observed but would like to get a second opinion.

Thank you!

Hi, and welcome,
looking at the observation metadata, the gain (SATNOGS_RF_GAIN) is not set.
This means that the sdr will be pretty insensitive to the incoming signals, setting it to something like 20-30 to start with would be more sensible.
More info on the wiki.

Awesome, will look at playing with gain today and go down that research path in-depth.

Thank you so much!
