I currently receive images from the remaining 2 Meteor Satellites Since the Switch off of the NOAA POES Satellites 15, 18 & 19. See here for details on the shutdown of these satellites.
There are currently 2 orbiting weather satellites transmitting LRPT in the 137MHz band. Meteor M N2-3 & N2-4.
There are a few other orbiting satellites but they transmit at a higher frequency and require a tracking antennas to receive but even these are reaching the end of their lives in the 1.7GHz band. With only the Meteor and MetOp satellites left in the band.
The Images below are from my setup running MeteorGIS and SDR# I have been experimenting with Sat Dump but it currently doesn’t do multisat composites yet without special scripting.
I am again experimenting with a new method of displaying the images received in preparation for adding permanent receive capability for the geostationary Elektro-L 3 using software called Vitality GOES. The new system also has the ability to scroll back through historic images which this old system does not allow.
This new system can be viewed here but the below images will continue to be updated below for the time being.
Meteor changes the sensors that it sends down during the year. In the summer months sensors 1, 2 & 3 are transmitted and the RGB123 image will update. During winter sensors 1, 2 & 5 are sent and the thermal, IR & IR Rainfall Images will update as well. This is because Sensors 1-3 are in the visible light spectrum and so only see in daylight. and Sensor 5 is in the Infrared so is able to see during the longer nights of Russian Winter.
This is a Live graph of up coming passes. (Not currently working)
