On an otherwise lousy day I got the FalconSat telemetry decoder working. It’s a 2-step process – you process the telemetry with the Soundmodem HS and the AGW-KISS program, which will write the telemetry files into the c:HamTempFalconsat folder. You then point the Telemetry decoder (see the Start menu) to that file and it will […]
So after a little more research I found that WISP isn’t the only program that can read the Falconsat data. UISS will also work using the 9600 baud modem. Here’s how it looks: Unfortunately transmitting isn’t as easy – you need to pipe the audio into the packet input port on the 847, and we […]
Copying the 9600 baud telemetry signal from Falconsat 3 has been a objective ever since we set up the W2MMD satellite station. This satellite was built by cadets at the US Air Force Academy and was turned over for ham use after its military mission was complete last year. Its primary communication method is 9600 […]
Once again the Russian crew transmitted SSTV pictures from the International Space Station. I left the W2MMD satellite station running with the tracker software set to track the ISS, and the MMTV SSTV program running to capture the images from the SDR radio. Below are some of the better images. On a high pass two […]
