Grabbing Images From New Russian Satellite (Meteor M2-3)
My last video on Russian Meteor satellites was pretty popular, so I did a follow up now that another satellite in this series has been launched. This one is brand new, going into orbit June 27th of 2023. It replaces the older Meteor M2-2 that suffered damage earlier this year and stopped transmitting on 137mhz.
I had a lot of trouble getting the signal from this one recorded and processed, and there are probably things I could have done better. What seemed to work best for me was:
1: Looking up pass times on
2: Recording the signal on during the pass, with a RTL-SDR v3, SAWbird-NOAA filter, and QFH antenna connected to a Raspberry Pi computer (timeout 15m rtl_fm -M raw -s 120000 -f -E dc -g 48 -p 1 )
3: Converting that output to a wav file (sox -t raw -r 120k -c 2 -b 16 -e s ““ -t wav )
4: Opening the wav file in Satdump, using pipeline for Meteor M2-x LRPT, and using frequency offset of 1 and DC blocking on.
Satdump-ui seemed to work more reliably on a Linux desktop than Windows.
