Request for Observation Scheduling Privileges – NOAA APT Project

Hello SatNOGS Community,

I am working on a project focused on receiving and decoding NOAA satellite APT images for educational and research purposes. I recently created an account on the SatNOGS network with the username: arpan-dey-ece.

As I do not yet operate a ground station, I would like to request observation scheduling privileges so that I can schedule NOAA-15/18/19 passes and download the data for decoding. This is part of a larger initiative to learn more about satellite communication and image processing using open-source tools like noaa-apt and WXtoImg.

I understand the importance of maintaining fair usage of the network and will limit my observation requests to NOAA APT satellites at suitable times.

Additionally, based on my experience, I’m enthusiastic about contributing to the community in any way I can, particularly by helping others with SatNOGS installation and setup processes.

Thank you for providing such a valuable and inspiring platform!

Best regards,
Arpan Dey
