Again a very strong signal, and probably the last transmission. I got one identical picture at 09:04 that got badly corrupted by a FHSS crane operating nearby.

Now for the space race!

What software are you using to upload telemetry?

1 Like

I use the SatNetworkClient provided by R4UAB.

You need to contact them to register on the network and request a personalized key to upload the data.

I usually use this R4UAB client + GetKISS to upload to the SatNOGS DB.

If you have any questions, please contact me in private to avoid “pollution” here.
