Grabbing Images From New Russian Satellite (Meteor M2-3)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2023
- 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 n2yo.com
2: Recording the signal on 137.9Mhz 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 137.9M -E dc -g 48 -p 1 raw_dump.raw)
3: Converting that output to a wav file (sox -t raw -r 120k -c 2 -b 16 -e s "raw_dump.raw" -t wav raw_dump.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.
Satdump can be found here: github.com/SatDump/SatDump

Meteorologist here. The lighter blue in Hudson bay is likely an algae bloom. The blue color of your clouds could be that you pulled a multi-spectrum image from the satellite. Some multi-spec images will add blue tint to clouds that are majority ice crystal to help identify the higher cirrus clouds from the mid and lower clouds made of water droplets or super cooled droplets. Also the imagery is better because it is a polar orbiting satellite which is in a lower Earth orbit than the NOAA geosynchronous weather satellite. Excellent video, wish i knew more on the actual retrieval of the data to help out.
Thanks! I was comparing quality to the NOAA POES (# 15, 18, and 19) satellites. Those are great, and easier to receive, but not quite the same resolution as this one.
it's a shame he was just a few days off seeing the last patches of ice melt, i've been watching daily on the jpss
So cool.
I believe that's actually ice that was melted into tiny little chunks. The ice just absorbs a lot of IR thus the blue colour.
@@saveitforparts Some sat-owners can release higher quality data publicly, because the military grade data is sooooo much better.
I'm still amazed how quickly you are able to learn and apply anything you find. Some would say you're a genius. Either way it looks like you're having fun.
Some would say he's a fraud and liar.
@@garnet4846 Some would say you’re mad cuz bad
@@jst_TV some would say that's not a proper sentence.
@@garnet4846 The same people who say that are the same people who say satellites don’t exist, so you know you can just go ahead and discard all their opinions
Why would hey say he doesn't know what happened, but then go on to use words "Maybe it caught fire, crashed into something etc."? Sounds like more than an opinion. 🤔🤔
as a retired 25B in the army, I spent a lot of time connecting to satellites. I just found your channel and may be heading down a rabbit hole. Great content.
My brother was a spook for the Army, not sure his MOS but he also worked with satellites. He was stationed in Harrogate at one point. He talked about getting out and making a lot as a civilian, but went into Medical School and is now a primary care doctor. The crazy thing is he regarded his top secret clearance firmly and would never discuss his job that he wasn’t suppose to.
@@lissettelopez8331 its pretty cool stuff. I had to get the same clearance, which in itself is quite the process. I was interragated, (they called it an interview), two different times, both by FBI agents, which I still think is odd, but it may have had to do with location. Sounds like your bro did pretty well for himself afterwards.
I'm sorry you had to experience fort gordon.
do you recommend 25b or 17C
can you write you home address? XD
If an private citizen could do this a few years ago just imagine the capabilities our military has.
yes, they've been doing this for 70 years 🙃

@@plaaggeest64 you're confused.
@garnet4846 What part of what he said isn't true? You can just try to do that yourself like countless people do.
I wanna pile onto these comments and say your channel directly inspired me to pick up a minor in geospatial sciences. Excited and terrified at my future coursework cause it's gonna be hard, but this does look super fun. If you ever want to publish a video on how to do some small side-projects, I'd LOVE it! Cool stuff :)
Neat! I minored in GIS for a bit, actually did some work in that field but then wandered into real estate from there and now do a bit of everything at a small company. What kind of side projects did you have in mind? I always have too much on my to-do list but I enjoy filming things :-)
@@saveitforparts something super beginner level like a guide on how to track and receive data from non-NOAA weather satellites using a Raspberry Pi and an RTL-SDR would be cool! And thanks for the repsonse
Recently found your channel and have watched almost all your videos in less than a month! I love the progression in your projects. This one specifically! Can't wait to see more Satellite hacking and the tricorder, and a faster railcar! Also can't wait to see the Playland assembled, it inspires me to get involved!
Where do you have that free time?
@@pappi8338 ever heard the term "whistle while you work?"
I think the blue clouds are an artifact of the image processing. Also, did you use the nightly build release of satdump? I think it was built to support 2-3
I'll have to check, I think I downloaded it last week and didn't check for a newer version.
All meteor satellites that still functions are M versions. Meteor-2 series died many decades ago. In fact normal lifetime of these satellites is 5 years so even Meteor-M are beginning to die because three out of five exceeded their lifetime operation. And a forth one - Meteor-M 2-2 collided with a micrometeor 3 years ago so like two years ago Roscosmos reset it so it can work a little longer but I'm not sure if it still functions (it was launched 4 years ago after all).
Hi from Russia! Amazing and very interesting content, subscribed! :D
One small correction thought about the history of the program.
As far as I know, the "Метеор" satellite series started way back during the Soviet Union (there were over 30 of "Метеор-1-# satellites for example during the 70-ies). The "-М #-#" series however started with "Метеор-М 1", which launched in 2009 and worked for its full mission duration of 5 years. Then there was the "Метеор-М 2-#" series, that had 3 total failures, only 1 of those were caused by the hard/software on board of the satellite (the "Метеор-М 2"), one micrometeoroid strike (in 2019, they managed to recover it tho iirc), and a launch vehicle failure in 2017. So its not all that bad regarding the failures statistic :D
The guy is biased as F. I have seen other videos of him talking down Russian tech and then in the same breath claim the images are better than those he receives from some American weather satellites. Typical American bias.
Slava Ukraini!
Interesting. Thanks for the info :D
@@blogancno.
@@bloganc can you share orbit of that new sattelite ? I bet it has amazing images
Another excellent upload - wish I found this channel sooner but it's been a blast watching the progression through all the old videos!
I believe they keep calling them Meteor 2-x because they are all basically the same satellite trying to replace the last broken one. Love the videos!
In case it isnt joke.
all Meteor-M №2 got their name before first one was launched.
There still 4 to be launched.
Meteor-M №2 is model name, number after dash is unique name.
From russian speaker perspective its pretty obviously, and I dont see how its differ from NASA, ESA, CNSA or JAXA naming scheme...
@@aiTheVulture I see that, it seems that meteor M2-4, M2-5, and M2-6 are scheduled for launch in 2023, 2024, and 2025 respectively.
@aiTheVulture Not a Russian speaker but also doesn't feel that different from other naming systems
Why do they keep failing?
@@kv4648
-0 become glitchy after 5yrs of service(service life for meteor M2 is at least 5 years but warranty also 5yrs), was decommissioned from work and serve as test platform
-1 burned in failed rocket with 18 other satellites.
-2 being hit by meteor and lost controll for 6 months, still in service
-3 just launched as planned, still in service.
4 more to be launched.
This is my first video every seeing anything like this. It’s super fascinating. Shout out to the algorithm and for you for making this content!
dang, I'm 19 and you really inspire me to continue studying IT and some software development in college. Even though I really don't enjoy or find interest in coding mostly and just seeing what you are able to put together and do is really inspiring. I hope one day I can achieve the level of knowledge and expertise you have in these things.
I didn't find that much interest or enjoyment in coding in college either! There was too much boring math and statistical stuff. However, now that I'm doing more programming for projects I'm directly interested in, I find it a lot more fun! I've been learning more Python for my Raspberry Pi projects, and trying to learn / remember enough Linux bash stuff for automating various tasks.
@@saveitforpartsbest advice I have for people getting started programming is to identify something (reasonable) you want to accomplish with code and go figure out how to do it. There’s infinite resources online but programming is boring af if you are just doing a course that is explaining what a list is and having you make calculators over and over.
Importantly, there is no study or job where there isn't boring, tedious life-sucking work to do side by side with the glorious fascinating brilliant fun stuff. So if you find SOME of it fun, then don't give up!
IT is by no means limited to coding! Devs get the glory but hw geeks and technicians make sure they have platforms to begin with. Keep up with your interest. It's a great field.
I'm an economist who has no formal coding training, just a lot of statistics and modeling to do. When I get frustrated or bored with coding I think about whether I want to spend some more hours learning how to make the machine do the job or rather do the job myself... usually that convinces me, haha.
I loved your last video like this! Was excited to see and hear you again when I clicked on this. You're a very well spoken and intelligent dude, and you're making these great videos too. I just love to see it. Keep it up, and keep thinking, keep learning and keep applying!
Your videos are awesome to watch! I especially appreciate your passion and excitement for all of it. Keep up the great work!
I have no idea what's happening and how, but this is so cool. You got your own little spy suitcase with the unreadable code and the fuzzy data stream representation ocilloscope looking stuff. So cool!
duhduhduhduhdaaa inspector gadget!
Why is this stuff just so amazingly interesting and fun? Seriously man this really gets my gears turning. Thanks for sharing it all!
Because it's the easiest way to get people to believe in nonsense, get them emotionally invested in it. The same way you would with a child who doesn't know any better.
@@garnet4846 Wait, what?
I think Europe Got a satellite like it, or US, and you can compare the Pictures, or not? There is a meteorological joke in Poland that during the previous communists era, before 1989, west german meteorology Group was sending counterfeit data suggesting that on 1st May there would be huge Rain above all of Poland :) so that polish meteo would make a suggested prognosis and people would not attend marches

It seemed like yesterday when hobbyists were receiving Weather Facsimile images from satellites over shortwave and capturing it with Atari 8-bit computers.
Ikr!
I "saved the parts" from one except I don't have the floppy drive or more modern SCSI adapter ..
You wouldn't happen to know how one goes about making your own cartages from surplus eeproms do ya?
@@petevenuti7355 Well, if it's for Atari systems... There are PCBs available, some as Gerber files to have them made and some people sell them premade with the Quad inverter chip on it because EEPROMs need the Chip Select line reversed before they'll work. And then getting a EEPROM burner which both works with the chip programming voltage and your computer. I've gotten as far as getting a PCB for making a 4K 2600 cartridge, but haven't sourced chips or a burner yet.

Still running my 800 and 800XL. My favorite part of the 80s was spending all day typing in a program and running it for an hour, before resetting and typing in another. My cousin really leveled me up; gave me his 410 recorder, when he got a ST. I have a non-working 400 I may donate to someone for a restoration.
7th grade Computer Literacy got my best friend and me in nothing but trouble. Always getting yelled at to do the ASSIGNMENT. Then for finals when we were supposed to write a program, I got a C because my teacher thought I didn't put any effort into it. And she was right, it was something I wrote at home while I was watching Knight Rider.
Honestly know nothing about satellites or radio tbh, but your videos are always so incredibly fascinating, and you’re clearly so passionate about it, please don’t stop making these videos!!
literally just watched the video where you put the filter and amplifier and this was perfect for a follow up so sweet! Im super interested in satellite and signal processing and these are very informativ!
Love this! Super interesting how you managed to do this and the commentary is easy to follow
If this ever becomes very popular we're going to start getting Ads placed in the images we download from these sats. 😂 j/k
Happy to see you wearing one of Allen's shirts!
Awesome video, man.
Nice idea for Roscosmos. Scrample main useful hi-res actual images, and let one open channel using plastic 1cent camera with AD layer overit to troll amateurs.

Holy moly it’s like you’re a detective. I love the combination between analog and digital signal processing.
never watched this guy before, but you can tell he is truly passionate for what he does. look at that smile while he speaks a different language of satellite nerd jargon
very rare to see
The naming auf the satelites sounds like the naming of the different USB standards.
The desktop machine is whatever the latest Ubuntu is, the Pi is using a semi-recent Rasbian. I used GQRX on the cyberdeck for the live SDR feed.
Really happy your channels getting the traction it deserves. Onwards and upwards (quite literally haha)!
Amazing channel, I love the satellite content A LOT!!! I bought some gear last month and I will shortly try it out and see if I also can get an image from the new Meteor! Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks for watching! I've noticed the satellite stuff is popular lately. It's fun to do but it's really distracting me from my core content of duct taping terrible boats together 🤣
Watching this video feels like going on an adventure with a detective trying to crack the case of the elusive Russian weather satellites
Finally, a new weather satellite. I could forecast the weather satellite, the next one is called Meteor3-3. I have a lot to try now. The satellite is already on the list on the website, I'm already tracking it. Thank you for the information. I'm still learning something new from you.😊
Dude that make install was sweet. I am literally subbing right now. :)
this was pretty cool but pulling out the homemade cyberdeck sold me. nice work, decker
Always good to see your satellite videos.

Hey, the signal seems strangely weak to me with your well build setup. Maybe try more gain on the SDR. You may have more luck with the built in satdump recorder/live decoder. It allows you to change the gain on the SDR while recording and thereby gives you live feedback on how much gain you need.
It will also not create giant raw files on your system. The SNR should be higher than 10 db for a good image. Be careful though, a raspi 3 might be too weak to handle live decoding via satdum (if you are using one).
I hope this helps, love your channel!
I tried installing satdump on the Pi and the dependencies kept failing. Not sure what was up. I'll have to mess with it more later.
Raspi is a different arch, all this cpp horror should really come in containers and static linked tbh
Love this video you're doing a great job. looks like highly profitable career behind every door with your hobby!
This is very interesting! Thank for sharing.
I didn't even know this was a pursuable hobby. Super cool.
I used to do this stuff in the '60s. Back then, all you needed was a suitable receiver, a fax machine, and plenty of paper. My friends thought I was goofy then too.
Pretty damn interesting, specially at that time
@@NHAFFFF It was actually kinda goofy. Weather satellites were a brand new technology, getting them up there was insanely expensive, and building the electronics to survive the environment was revolutionary, but the actual tech they leveraged to record and send the images was off-the-shelf facsimile format.
@@steveanderson9290 We still had a row of old WeFax's in the early 1980s. At just over $10K each, the machines were a bargain. It was the media that these things ate that ran into the big bucks.
Idk what I did to get the algorithm to show this to me, but this is the coolest things I've watched all year
Congrats, you made the Hackaday Blog. Nicely done!
Amazing work! A nitpic though, most of the curvature effect is not due to the roundness of earth, but just because the camera has very wide FoV, around 120 degrees if my math holds. The ground on the edges of the picture is at about 10-25 degrees compared to the camera. If the earth were flat, it would only be around 5 dergees better. Just rough scetches on GeoGebra.
What linux are you using? And could you list the programs you are using in the description for all your software on Han radio and satellite please
That is brilliant. I wish we had of thought of that, giving all satellites a common name.
Wow a Neckbeard...
Those are pretty rare nowadays.
Props to your Knowledge.

I like your vids. Also I must say that fetching Russian satellite images from the US, is a very-veeeeery brave move :D :D :D
Awesome skillz, thanks for sharing 😎👍
i dont know how to do this thing like you and i even dont understand but i keep watching your video to learn. You are amazing
I recorded the now most recently defunct Meteor-M2 using an RTL-SDR v3 dongle on my Windows 10 laptop using a pre-packaged software combo (whose name I can’t quite remember).
I also employed the use of a USB GPS receiver for better than NTP time synchronization.
why did you need such time accuracy? the beamwidth of antennas used is not that critical NTP should be accurate to quarter sec you were probably using an omnidirectional quadrifilar?
I was born in the 80’s and grew up as a young adult in the 90’s. My favorite t.v. show was the X-Files. Whenever I watch this channel, you remind me of the lone gunmen from the X-Files in your ability to manipulate electronics. I love geeking out on this channel, keep up the great work!

So cool can’t wait to see more like this!
I would have never though that you could read the data from those satallites just like that, always thought they would be encrypted, the more you know I guess :d
Hi, network technician at your service here, (network+ certified)
The issue with your image requisition is that the type of connection you have is connectionless, meaning there is no error correction code in your connection to the satellite. Unfortunately this means that the only good way to get decent images is to take a bunch then stack them on top of eachother and remove obvious errors. However, you could make or find a program that could automatically fill and replace the black striping error, though more than likely, you'd still have to fix color shift striping errors manually.
Good luck! It also may be worth looking into a larger receiver!
Thanks! I have it on my to-do list to try some different antennas.
thank you. like your positive way to talk. thanks from nederlands

Why haven't I found this channel a long time ago these videos are awesome
babe wake up new saveitforparts video just dropped
Love your videos about listening to satellites. I would never guessed this is possible. I do not know much about it but I would be interested to know at least a little bit more. For example:
- Does the satellite only transmit this signal you are decoding, or are there other signals?
- Why is decoding so complicated? What is the process to get the data? Why it looks like you have to break some weak encrypttion?
- Is there some encrypted signal with better image quality, or if done properly with good antenna setup this would be enough?
- How is Russian satelite controlled when is over USA, is it by link to another Russian satelite? Or are there in USA some ground stations to do that?
- Why the signal you are receiving is not (properly) encrypted? Is there some agreement to broadcast it for everyone who want to listen (not very common these days to do something for free)?
-Saving my spot for when someone answers these
There are some other data channels coming from this satellite. The other one that amateurs often use is a higher-resolution image that needs a better antenna (and the antenna needs to be aimed either by hand or with a rotor as the satellite moves).
It's complicated mainly because the software is all pieced together by amateurs as a hobby. I'm sure there's a commercial program used by Russian weather stations, ships, etc. There have been some more polished, less complicated programs available to the general public that will do all of this for me (like Raspberry-NOAA-v2), but they haven't been updated to handle this new satellite yet.
It's not really encrypted at all, just encoded into a digital format that you have to process to get the image out (like modem tones / digital TV). I believe the intent is that a Russian ship (military or commercial) anywhere on the ocean can tune in and get this live weather picture to see where storm systems might be located. Same with the NOAA weather satellites that operate on similar frequencies, anyone can use them anywhere in the world for basic weather info when they can't access another forecast.
As far as control, the satellite should be pretty automatic and doesn't need 24/7 control. When it's over Russia, or a remote ground station, they can send it commands to do whatever they might need (turn systems on and off, adjust orbit, etc).
This is bs for ewe tube.
@@saveitforparts can you do a video communicating with the iss by holding a bent clothes hanger up into the sky? That would be sooo cool dude!
no way I just watched that video when it was recommended me yesterday this is the best sequel ever
Smart idea stacking all the images. I pray satdump can figure out how to get all that data from one image though. By far the easiest program I've used to decode it.
It could be a microalgae (phytoplankton) bloom caused by high water temperature and much sunlight.
I would imagine that the rPi is hitting some kind of CPU/memory bottleneck. monitor it while dumping.
All I want is a real pic of the actual south pole. Admiral Byrd style. 6-pack of choice. Cheers Brother. Great videos.
bad ass keep it up man love this content
Russia copied my Kerbal space program satellite naming scheme 😂
This scheme has been used since the 1950s, when the first Soviet weather satellite was launched.
I heard a rumor that they have a bunch of these left over from the USSR and they just pull one out of the warehouse and launch it when the previous one fails :-P
M in name stands for Modernized, i guess m2 is third gen of satelite.
"North and South Dakota...just looks flat..."
Very accurate satellite imagery
Some people are just on another level. Wow. Greets from Germany!
I learned today that meteorological satellites have open standardized access. thanks for the interesting video. Greetings from Russia : )
The rumor is that the LRPT antenna did not fully deploy. dereksgc suggested using a directional antenna.
I'll have to try that!
Are you kidding? “Things compiling” is one the best parts! And images, of course😅
Awesome stuff!! Very cool
I'm amazed that none of that seems to be encrypted. How is that possible?
I'm pretty sure these are intended to be available to anyone anywhere in the world, much like the US NOAA satellites in similar orbits. Potential users would be ships out of range of regular weather radio.
Man, I wish I was smart enough to mess with this stuff. Thanks for the videos/effort, it's appreciated.
Edit: Have you considered you simply need a better processor to make the (comparatively) inefficient jump? Like, raspberry pi seems to miss a lot more data, reminds me of low FPS due to slow storage or CPU bottleneck. Your other setup seems to do better, but still has large blocks where it's bottlenecked (if that's teh issue). Just a guess though, I have no idea what I'm doing.
Edit2: You could check by watching your system usage (storage, CPU, voltage, etc) to see if it's getting maxed out, then you at least know you're bottlenecked. Could do that easily enough on the pi and desktop. I generally try to have a conky running because I like to see when it's time to blow out the laptop fins/fans.
I think the Pi is getting the data, it's just not processing completely on my Windows machine. It seems to process better on another Linux system with similar specs to the Windows desktop. Not sure why.
@@saveitforparts I would say looking at the image and way it's distorted that there is extra data in the signal that needs to be stripped out first. maybe they added more meta-data to each transmission block
It would be more impressive if you were smart enough to know this is all lies.

Thank you for the good and interesting videos. Happy 4th July afterwards 🎉 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 73s
Not a Flat Earther but at 7:30 I don't think that distortion is caused by the curvature of the earth. The orbit of the satellite is so low we are only seeing a small part of the earths surface, so not enough to see the type of distortion you mention. I think the image is closer to a 2D map with lens distortion and perspective, not earths visible curvature.
work it out - its distortion at the edges due to the earth's curvature. They dont use a "lense" it's a rotating scanner. in the 80s for mil work we had software to take that distortion out and then overlay map outlines etc..(NOAA HRPT but that's downsampled in the sat imeddiatly to "direct broadcast" APT)
Imagine, you can see the curvature of the earth just by taking off on an aerostat. I'm serious, that's more than enough. There are a number of videos on TH-cam demonstrating this. So the height of the satellite is definitely enough for this.
Its crazy how even russia is part of the conspiracy to try to convince us that the earth is not, in fact, a donut shape smh
No idea why this popped up on my feed, but I'm loving the facial hair! Good style! I used to rock the mutton chops with a mustache myself! Keep on rocking my man.
The light blue color you’re seeing could be silt but it also looks very similar to diatoms in the water giving off o2 from feeding
Why the data you get from the satellite is not encrypted ?
Good question. My guess would be: the ruskys dont deem weather data as sensitive enough for the effort. Or it's because weather data became a weakness for the german Enigma Machines.
I think the idea is that ships can pick this up anywhere in the world and use it as part of their weather planning. The US has a very similar system that uses similar frequencies.
@@saveitforparts The transmission is carried out in the LRPT format and this is done so that all interested can access the information. Service and important information is transmitted at other frequencies and with encryption.
