Is there a (rather) easy way to obtain the MSG-4 images using SDR like it is possible for NOAA and Meteor-M N2 (http://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weather-satellite-images/ http://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weath...)?
- opk 11y agoGo to http://www.eumetsat.int/ http://www.eumetsat.int/ and follow links on data delivery. The eumetcast system lets you pick up data using normal satellite TV hardware but you're not picking it up direct from, e.g. MSG-4. It is broadcast via another satellite much as for, e.g. a TV signal. You can also get some data via the Internet.
- iso8859-1 11y agoMeteor-M N2 is in polar orbit, so you may need a fancy antenna to receive MSG, which is in geostationary orbit (don't quote me on this, but this reddit user has the same suspicion https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/23pquc/can_you_receive_geostationary_weather_sattelites/ch1roen https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/23pquc/can_you_rece...). But EUMETSAT (contractor of MSG-4) has EUMETcast for distributing the images: http://satsignal.eu/wxsat/atovs/index.html http://satsignal.eu/wxsat/atovs/index.html That works over DVB though, which would be disappointing for you since you wanna talk to satellites. There is a library for decoding the proprietary formats: https://sourceforge.net/p/meteosatlib/wiki/Home/ https://sourceforge.net/p/meteosatlib/wiki/Home/ The linked Reddit thread has this very nice answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/23pquc/can_you_receive_geostationary_weather_sattelites/cgzy6te https://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/23pquc/can_you_rece...
