Pulling Clear Images Directly Off Satellites | GOES-15,16,17 and Himawari 8 HRIT

- In the fall of 2016 I saw my first rocket launch and little did I know that the satellite on that rocket would come to shape and fill my thoughts for many years. We're no strangers to getting data out of space on this channel, but GOES-16 is special, and not just because I was there when it left earth. Unlike the satellites we looked at in the past, GOES is in geostationary orbit and has an amazing suite of cameras and sensors on board. While it's a bit harder to receive data from GOES the extra effort is absolutely worth it, especially because it can see then entire globe all at once and send out those images in stunning high resolution. And it even comes with the added bonus of rebroadcast data from other satellites giving us a view of the opposite side of the planet as well.
In this video we go through the hardware and software needed to receive these gorgeous images and what is contained in the signals we receive.
A huge thank you to Lucas and the Open Satellite project crew, Pieter N, and Paul for making this project possible.

"I was lactose intolerant at the time" is such a powerful statement and a flex of godly levels
283 likes and no replies? Wow
@@RoboPlaysYTthere’s just nothing anyone can argue about with that statement
@@davecommander3958 plus its 2 years old
I came here to say exactly this hahaha
why there is so many of us at the same time when this vid is so old? i randomly decided to go back and watch this, i didnt even get this as recommended
I work in a volunteer fire department in Southern Louisiana. To record and decode images from the GOES 16 satellite gives us the ability to watch weather patterns without the need of an external news network via television or internet. The thought of having a personal mini weather station is an amazement to me. I cannot wait to purchase and construct this setup for our convenience. Love the videos and keep up the great work.
I'm in Baton Rouge and as I was watching this video I was actually thinking that it would be beneficial to local emergency and rescue crews to have this system at their disposal as a tool to better help the public.
Luke, if you get this - I am developing software you would be very interested in. It includes full resolution GOES and is specifically made for EM. Please reply here if you are still around as it has been 9 months.
@@edwin3928ohd It's been 11 months now, but let's hope we can get ahold of him still! This is pretty fascinating stuff and an application of this tech I had initially failed to consider, so I really hope you succeed.
@@vidyajamesu Thanks. Are you involved with EM/etc?
David Holcomb No, though I sometimes wish I was. I’m just a science enthusiast who wants tech like this available openly, where it deserves to be.
This guy is like actually crazy, he refuses to coexist with a barrier of ignorance between him and the marvels of the world around him
That... was really well put.
@@thethoughtemporium thanks, I guess I just meant that I admire your compassion for learning
That barrier is holding back humanity.
@@dronexfun8469 Well I mean that's based on perspective.... The barrier also keeps people with bad intentions from being too capable on their own without a certain level of motivation 🤷
That is not crazy, but you may be an idiot if you think it is.
Wow! Very cool! I would have guessed it's all encrypted.
Glad you enjoyed!! And nope! The only group that does that for weather sats is the EU. Gotta pay 500 bucks to get their special client to decrypt their signals. Nasa on the other hand actually encourages this. As I mentioned, they helped Lucas figure out the decoding since there were some discrepancies. And they built all their old satellites to contain legacy tech specifically for amatures and non commercial people to pick up the signals
@@aeroscience9834 he pulled data from one already
I should have guessed that is the kind of TH-cam channel that the guy from @Applied Science would have liked
@@thethoughtemporiumwhy is the l in directly capital
@@thethoughtemporium NASA gets it.
The amount of data satellites are just screaming out at us is amazing!
even then, most you need to know EXACTALY where they are, their frequency, and how to decode the data
It’s all cell tower data and low satellites info
...And that we are screaming at them too
@@godbyone 😱
Sure...
You're an inspiration dude. There's no chance that you haven't been responsible for a number of people going into scientific careers.
The ultimate selfie stick
"Lactose intolerant at the time"
he made a video on lactose intolerance
at the time...lol
I love that he can say that
@Jerremy Hughes How?
At the time.... I wish mine was able to be turned on or off when I felt like it..
Someday I wouldn't be surprised if one of your videos is titled "Cure for Cancer Pt. 1"
I probably shouldn't mention what the next genetics project is once I'm done with the spider silk.....
@@thethoughtemporium any updates?
@@thethoughtemporium given your history of you know, making the cure for lactose intolerance. im actually scared
Curing cancer.... WITH HYPERCANCER :D - check in a nutshell petos paradoxon
Update: Yeah, he livestreamed that project
never thought 1 week could be so long to wait for a video.
I'm such a sap… I had tears in my eyes watching that rocket launch and seeing the day-night image of the Earth. Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing your awesome science with the rest of us!
I think its really awesome that you are getting data from a satellite that you actually witnessed leaving our planet. It's like hearing from an old friend. A million thumbs up dude!
You sir are insane. Insanely amazing
Your 4th liker is me don't think too much
Excellent. Just what i've been looking for. I'm a retired Meteorologist of 40 yrs and and have a 10 ft dish doing nothing! I'd love to get the channels on Aerosols!
I love these RF videos
true
These*
_RF videos_ is plural, and therefore you have to use _these_ .
Sorry, but I had to.
Manuel Bonet Fixed!
English is not my first language, and I make typos often so thanks!
They're my favorite.
I can't agree more.
It is shame that you can't directly receive any images or data from European's geostationar satellites (not even from polar orbiting weather satellites) because ESA or better say EUMETSAT has encrypted all communication. So if you want images you need to pay for key. Thx really good work.
We should buy the keys together and release them publicly in the maker community 😄
@@devrim-oguz And they can revoke that key...
Let's crack them
Damn I was wondering about that. I feared "of course the europeans are gonna encrypt it" and of course they do :(
would it be worth it? noaa 19 apt wxtoimg no encrypt
Every flat earther needs to watch this.. and watch it REAL good.
I was thinking the same thing. They will just say this guy is a disinfo gov agent or the satellites have pre-loaded CGI images lol. They can never admit theyre wrong. Most are way to invested to ever retract their belief systems
I bet flat earthers LOVE you. 😭
Wait, you're telling me Earth isn't flat? D= At least we still have Santa!
You are so right! I have never seen such a perfect circle of a planet beaten by innumerous stellar bodies.
Was looking for a "flat earth" related comment 😂
@@bryanst.martin7134
Do you realise how big the Earth is? You can't see a pimple on my face from 10ft away.
Those details are minuscule.
yeah we had got the setup working and one of the first things we said was "Look at that flat earthers! does it look flat?"
"Since I was lactose intolerant at the time"
The biggest flex I've heard
I've been meeting a lot of flat earthers lately and I love sending them this video. Thank you.
You are only as efficient as you least efficient device in the chain. Resonance is more crucial when transmitting and you can receive with just about any piece of wire but the signal will not be what it could if the antenna was designed closer to the frequency of the GOES satellites. Because the antenna you are using is not resonant I made a few mods to it and now I am using just one amplifier which is the NooElec with the filter and getting vit (avg)s in the low 200s. I also found that the wifi and bluetooth on the raspberry pi was causing interference and found that adding some commands to the boot config file to turn those off made a bit of difference. I will be doing a video on how to build those mods.
0:32 "[...] since I was lactose intolerant at the time."
Words of a great man.
Also: I love these videos, keep it up!
Stuff like this inspires me to keep learning. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
I have been waiting for the GOES videos since I first saw you pulling images from NOAA sats when you were in Brazil. Excited to see the continuation of this project!
why in the world was he pulling noaa sats in BRAZIL? HE SHOULD'VE BEEN DOING GOES THERE! U get 20 vit there its so good
"The earth is flat" mfs when a bunch of guys make a satellite dish out of pvc in their backyard to download images of Earth taken by a geostationary satellite
There's a dude on here saying it's all cgi 🙄
Yup, when I did satellite comms for the army, we'd use a LNA (Low Noise amplifier) that had a bandpass filter on it before it ever reached any real high voltage amplifiers. Good base satellite comms knowledge there.
I have a lot of good memories of the GOES satellites. A few years back I developed a GOES DCS satellite transmitter used to send gauge and weather station data to the satellite. Perhaps I may need to break out the old RTL-SDR receiver and see if I can decode the DCS data to see if I recognize any transmissions from my old design.
Nice!
I love the rf stuff on this channel. I am anxiously awaiting your 3d corner reflecter results. It would be amazing if you could detect pulsars with it. I've been looking for a budget solution.
Flat earthers are sure to call this a fake .
They sure do. Why? Because that is the only argument they have... to not have an argument.
NASA literally admits the images of the globe are all CGI on their own website. Like just do a TINY amount of research before commenting
I ended up liking the video before the commercial ended lol, I have no regrets.
oh and you uploaded at the same time as peter sripol
the man who will take a knowledge base and a problem and learn any and everything he needs to know to fix it. I have the mindset and not the drive. I hope to be like you one day my friend.
How can flat earthers exist when there's videos like this?
Denial of every aspect of reality.
You make us proud to be human.
when i get out on my own property in the rockies (i love those mountains) i might setup serveral antennas and have them pointed and recording the signal coming from several geo stationary satalites. what do you think? cool or not? (i'm still going to do it either way)
i may do a similar thing nearby on a mostly off grid community, so we can still have warning for storms etc
i love how calmly he says "... As Japan was under a hurricane at the time."
and i heard he loved japan
@@crypto.7562 you really love this video don't you?
Don't let the flat earthers see this. Their whole life will become completely and irreversibly pointless.
thats very true... they see the earth is a circle and they say... Nasa took the pictures and edited them off the satelitte
It is incredibly humbling to get to follow someone so smart. You pursue so many disciplines. Never stop uploading!
GOES Receive is screaming to be turned into a GNU Radio project. I have an Ettus Research USRP I'd like to sub in to play around with this. If it were standardized into a companion file, you could sub in whatever SDR you wanted that was capable of receiving.
mabye u could use a modified version of librtlsdr that supported different dongles
So much to be learnt here. Questions like do they actually fly in space ? Which would be the dark area above our blue sky. Can they be seen with a telescope ? If they fly in the darkness of space then what is giving them power ? If space has no atmospheric pressure then what is their propulsion system pushing against ? So much to learn still.
Have you thought a about streaming the images to the internet? I would be really interested in them, but sadly I live in Europe (and don't have 200 dollars lying around) but I would still love to be able to tinker around with them
Once we get a more permanent setup, that's likely the plan
@@thethoughtemporium That's awesome :). I will already thank you in advance and will tell you that I am a huge fan :).
btw the images are live on NOAAs site for them updating about ever 5 to 15 minutes I think.
you can already get them from the noaa, they release the data in real time for free
www.nesdis.noaa.gov/content/imagery-and-data
There's a few websites that offer live satellite feeds.
Been waiting for this and .. those pictures are SO awesome and so worth it! You guys rock, thanks for doing this!
I am sending these videos to my mom, shes been watching a lot of flat earth shit for some reason, if anything fails i will build an antenna myself and show her the bloody thing.
How did it go?
I also want to know how it went
Really brilliant. So amazing that anyone with a will and some cheap hardware can create a system to tap into multi-million dollar satellites. You talk fast and nothing is wasted. Love this stuff.
note: the signal is intended to be recieved, so he isn't really *tapping* into anything
Question IN ALL SERIOUSNESS: Is this legal?
Well, the satellites are just shooting the signal at us without encryption and it's not making not available to the people who properly use it. so no
@@p4rk3r43 Thank you, P4RK3R!
I was going to get a hack RF and plug into a linear amp , but the temptation to transmit over other signals to see what happens would probably get me in trouble with the FCC.
Great, I bought my Nooelec and the Sawbird, just waiting to get to Mexico, I already have the antenna and Im pumped to get those images!!!!
3:41 "as japan was under a hurricane at the time" in such a casual tone really caught me off guard.
I was so disappointed, couldn't wait to see all the flat earthers going crazy but they are no where to be seen, it's great entertainment lol, but at least your work is compensation...loving it 👍
Pretty sure the run scared from practical experiments, as it destroys the flat earth world veiw
I think they got censored
i have one question why does only the shadow of the sun move and not the actual earth looks like its sitting in place not like its rotationg but im not a flat earther just curiouis (sry for my bad english)
@enea8531 the satellite moves at the same speed as Earth's rotation, it's called geostationary. The engines on satellites are solar powered and since there's no friction in space it doesn't need much (not zero) energy to orbit.
That's amazing. I'm posting a link to this video on every Flat Earther's comment on TikTok from now on. The fact that you can literally point a dish at a place in the sky and get back a real-time map of the earth is mindblowing.
There are no unaltered satellite images
define altered
So cool. I reached a new level watching this.
Thank-you.
I would love it if you could make an affordable, low power, 12 volt system for receiving weatherfax forecasts at sea.
Wouldn't be hard, utilizing what he has here, but I think there might be trouble in obtaining a solid lock on the signal, unless you were in extremely calm seas. The good side though, is your boat/antenna would be omni-directional. Just turn the boat!
@@Keys879 That is my worry, calm seas is not going to happen, if it is calm you are motoring or drifting, and the boat will probably roll more than under a breeze, I should look up how dome antennas work, gyros I guess, and not easy to build without machining tools. But I hope someone like him with more relevant knowledge might think of something 'easy' that hadn't occurred to me.

Very nice, now the hard part, convincing flat earthers that these are real images and not fake.
Thx, I'll try this. Let's see how it *GOES* hah :D
lol if you can point ur dish well
OMG 😮 I cannot wait to do this myself!
It was a typhoon, not an hurricane :) great videos btw!

If you are still playing with capturing GOES data, I think it would be really interesting to capture the moon's shadow travel across the face of the earth during a solar eclipse. If you've packed everything away, you have just under a year for the next one where the shadow will transit across the continental US. (April 8, 2024).
love this idea!
@@thethoughtemporiumdid you ever do it?
Oh man, great work! If you ever find yourself in the space coast again holler at us (physics anonymous). Would love to chat about SDR, antennas, and rocket launches!
Yeah... I'd love to see some of this sort of thing on your channel.
wow I wonder what OTHER things up in space are broadcasting that you could pick up!
noaaa meteor metop iridium directv landsat you name it
you guys need to make a video on the software and the corner reflector.
Edit1: Also how accurate does the aim of the dish need to be to see a signal on the sdr.
Edit2: could the RTLSDR V3 dongle that covers 25-1750 mhz work and not have to use the nesder?
The dish aim has to be PERFECT. It took some fine tuning for it to work. Also, in a youtube video I saw someone using one of those dongles. Short answer:yes
Incredible! You make it look easy. :) Congrats!
Bigs thanks to everyone who supports your channel and citizen science.
it is not easy, trust me.
Congrats!
And I want to thank you for inspiring me. I have built 2 antennas and have recieved NOAA and Meteor signals with my Nesdr smart already.
For GOES, there's basically 0 chance to recieve it in europe, right?
Unfortunately yes
if ur out of the satelittes footprint, then you cant get a signal.
I'm super jealous of you for getting to see this launch.
I remember back in grad school when we heard of the GOES R... even though it took a decade for the thing to get up there... We'll take it.
He sounds like the youtuber called the 8 bit guy.
Not one flat earther alive will come near this video they might press dislike on it and watch 3 minutes 5 minutes of it but this is their Kryptonite.
somebody show this to the Flat Earthers...
Can you please add and complete this series of videos? They are amazing and it inspires me to do stuff like that.
You videos act like a guide!
Will it be able to receive european sattelites.
That's the sad thing. I'd really love to do the same as he did, but the ESA satellites are encrypted. The problem is, a normal civilian can't really get this key.
I can be wrong, but you can dig some data from researchgate
No. Those satellites are a nightmare and require a whole different system and the purchase of a $500 piece of software. I'm working on it but it'll be a while...
@@thethoughtemporium It would be awesome if you could figure something out for the European satellites!
if I wanted to.. first I would have to travel there
I scavenged an old directv dish with a missing feed horn, and I have a smaller wifi grid antenna. Could I pull the feed horn off the grid antenna and attach it to the bigger directv dish to make it work with this kind of setup?
where are them flat earthers at?
Australia
Gulag
At mental hospital
Definitely sell the satellite antenna…. You sir would be started a whole new hobby for future generations….. crazy
Will flatearthers recover?
No, that condition is terminal.
They frozed lol
You have your secondary reflector on backwards on the antenna on many of those shots. Looks like you figured that out.
Im ready to watch it but i in school :(
Use captions
Great Video! Thanks for Sharing
107 dislikes are from flatearthers lol
More novel evidence against Flat Earth. Thank you, I'm always looking for more if anyone has something.
Liars! It's all cgi.
So they're sending satellites up just to generate fake images and send it back? Man you flat earthers will ignore any and all evidence that disproves your worldview.
Awesome, I'm glad to have been able to see the whole project from start to finish.
Once I get a break from school I'm going to try this along with some other RF/SDR experiments.
-David KG5UBB
yes, and its expensive and the farther away u live from it, the more it costs. I would say in brazil the signal's so strong u could pick it up with an FM antenna, even though thats not true u get a vit of 20-25 and no rs no drops its just perfect unlike mine where it gets a little hotter, vit 300 0 rs 14 DROPS and then i dont recieve ANYTHING
Flat earthers. DUH‼️
TH-cam just showed me this... neat! good video
Bro none of those images are real, they are composites based on radio data. So they are basically paintings made by super computers. At least you can be honest like nasa is
Himawari 8 is a weather satellite that watches over The Philippines from above.
you should call this flat earth busting!
I had absolutely no clue that doing something like this was even feasible! I guess I always just assumed that the data transmissions were like a laser pointer, beamed straight to a receiver at a very specific and private location. I'm picturing someone with a dish on top of their car in the parking lot of a secret government agency.... This video totally blew my mind, stellar content!
As I like to say "I like the future", the shear amount of cool "stuff" available today is just amazing!
As always we have no real video of the rotation of the earth, but a 4k photo and video from Mars ..
About one rotation in 24 hours, and this is from a geostationary satellite …
@@El_Grincho find one orbital
@@rooxynala841 I asked ChatGPT:
The different orbitals are:
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f, 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, 6s, 6p, 6d, 7s, and 7p.
These orbitals are further divided into subshells based on their angular momentum quantum numbers: s (0), p (1), d (2), f (3), and so on.
@@El_Grincho so what? Can we see the rotation?
@@rooxynala841 From where? Looking at something rotating at 0.0007 rpm in real time isn't that exciting(?). What is your problem? And do you want to see the rotation from the earth then just look up and observe the stars.

(Note, I don't believe flat earthers are real. To me that is a CIA op of some sort or another)
Ok, finally someone who is also saying this, flat earth just has to be a distraction from government agencies, keep people laughing at nonsensical conspiracies while they try and hide real and misdeeds, this allows anyone who has genuine criticisms of the elites , governments, and corporations.

I never homebrewed a GOES receiving system before. I bought the legit system back in 2006 for a couple hundred dollars with the agreement I had to have the all the dishs and other bits removed within the week, from a TV station that was changing from analog to digital and they were liquidating ALL their "antiquated" equipment. The stuff I have was built in the late 90's and I even got the dish and rotor for it along with all the cabling, software and computers to make it all work. believe it or not the equipment if I set it back up will still get live data from the new and old birds up there.
Hell I almost bought a backup UHF 10 Kw analog transmitter and a 2 Kw FM transmitter but decided it was too much in the way of power to run it and I could not run it legally anyways.. The $500 price tag was very attractive though.
The BIG Dish that I got I turned into a car port type thing by inverting it.
