Thank you very much!
I missed the way better pass before. This was only about 15° elevation.

I’ve put up a dashboard for Sonate-2 digipeater in a rush.
It’s work in progress.

Are demodded packets ever relayed from SatNogs to APRS-IS?

To my knowledge, there is no link between SatNOGS and APRS-IS.

Interesting, Dubai’s Palm Jebel Ali and at the top tip Palm Jumeirah.
Seems they forgot to update their SSTV schedule.

Thats the extent of what i got when it started transmitting over the Czech Republic.

Its either a different picture or its corrupted. Had to manually start decoding as the signal strength was so low it would not auto detect. I assumed it was Martin M1 as that is what they have been sending in the past.

Probably not worth staying up all night for but hey. You have to try… :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit: It was corrupted. Same signal with RX-SSTV that actually managed to auto detect it.

It barely even registered above the noise floor here…

Hopeful for the next pass (Max 45 degree elevation)
If its even transmitting that far away from mainland Europe.

At 5.8 degrees elevation relative to my QTH (I’m almost sure that the satellite sent 2 images but due to the mountains to the west I didn’t receive)
