Thanks! I’m located at 38°N, 112.5°E, Maidenhead grid OM68fa.

The images captured by this satellite are truly stunning, and I can’t wait for its transmission when it passes overhead.

I have a problem seeing the decoded (hex data) on the data tab for StratoSat TK-1. I can provide two of my recent observations of this satellite (SatNOGS Network - Observation 10350598, SatNOGS Network - Observation 10350599). When I use gr-satellite to extract the hex frames from the ogg file, I can see them in the output. Do you have any suggestions what might be wrong, or should I make some modifications in the satnogs-client configuration?

206

Just to be sure, a real time decode (using gr-satellites) isn’t showing decoded frames and a replay with the ogg audio file as input is?

207

Thank for your response. Yes, exactly as you say. When I try on my local machine with gr-satellites and the downloaded ogg file, I can see the hex frames, but I can’t see them in real time on the observation page.

208

I found no significant difference to an observation of RS20S, also having GEOSCAN format and an AX.25 framing.

209

are you running a unmodified client with no pre-/post scripts ?

210

Yes, I am using an unmodified client, I installed everything according to the installation instructions.

211

Currently default radio part of SatNOGS (gr-satellites+satnogs-flowgraphs) do not support decoding of stratosat tk-1 protocol. It is achievable if you install SatNOGS_gr-satellites to your SatNOGS Client. With this tool you will be able to actually decode more amateur band satellites.

Many thanks for the information, I’ll try later and let you know.

@geoscan After installation and testing, I can confirm that it works. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

I’m eagerly awaiting the next image transmission.
Could you let me know when it will begin?

Best regards.

215

Please can you let me know if it was easy to install and setup?

216

There will more transmissions soon. Here is new image received while testing

Hello. Are there any plans for 3cm 10 GHz transmissions to take place over Europe?

There will be soon. Possibly from more satellites. I will let you know

I am also interested in receiving data and images at 10 GHz.
I join the interest in receiving information on this topic.

There are plans for image transmission events in digital protocol outside the European/Russian territory for a future @geoscan ??

I live in Brazil, that’s why I ask this question :grin:.
