Welcome to my Webpage!
I am very interested in receiving data from meteorological satellites.
This page contains information about my work in this direction.
2005
Start receiving APT by means of receiver R-45.
2006
Making EMGO receiver and writing firmware for it.
2007
Building the 1.7 GHz --> 137.5 MHz downconverter and receive Meteosat -6, -7.
Using 1.85 m parabolic dish.
2008
In octobre 2008, has purchased a license and start receiving
Making HRPT equipment and start receive (C)HRPT in Nov 2008.
The equipment consists of a receiver HPR-137, a old decoder Rob Alblas,
1.20m offset parabolic antenna, Az/El rotor and LVB tracker.
2009
Building home-made 1.90m parabolic stressed antenna.
More info about home-made stressed parabolic dish -> read in my article (rus).
2010
After some time I finished decoding the new russian satellite Meteor M N1.
See my descriptions data transmission ---> Decoding Meteor M N1 HRPT.pdf
Many thanks to my friends for help !
After the problems associated with the "dead zone" at the zenith, I decided to build X-Y rotor.
For construction, we used two mount PowerTech DG380 with metallic gear.
I wrote (in Delphi) a plugin for Orbitron to control the X-Y rotor.
Also changed firmware LVB tracker for X-Y mount ver. 1.0.
November, participated in the project ENVI-HAM, start receive Envisat DDS-data
(image with a resolution of 250 m / pixel).
In december obtained Aoyama decoder (from Japan) for receptions HRPT.
Aoyama decoder also decodes Meteor-M N1. See more ...
Thank you very much Mr. Aoyama for help !
2011
Modification and construction of the new receiver for HRPT.
Start receiving Meteor-M N1. Complete description of the format MHRPT here.
