Tracking Satellites | |

 User ID: 77361703  United States09/07/2019 10:24 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Contrary to the claims of flat earthers, satellites are real and I will be tracking some of them tonight with my custom SatTraker software. [link to github.com (secure)] The webcast will go live at 9pm eastern, 01:00 UT. Have you ever using one of RTL-SDR dongles with SDR# and Orbitron? You can get one of the dongles pretty cheap, $25 on Amazon. I have a few that I like to experiment with, you can do a lot of cool stuff with them. [link to www.rtl-sdr.com (secure)] It would be a cool experiment to track it visually and receive its audio or data transmission simultaneously. Come on and take a free ride. |

User ID: 77361703 United States09/07/2019 10:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | funny how we got thoussands of satelites go around the sky yet most data is transferred using undersea cables hahahaha Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30627760 This satelite lie was exposed During Trumps crossing the DMZ meeting with Kim Jung Un  I guess you have never had satellite internet then? Next June, find an ARRL Field Day somewhere near you. Go and check it out, its basically a bunch of HAMS that will go and setup there equipment powered off the grid. There will more than likely be someone there conducting SATCOM to try and get contacts. If they have it on speaker you will know that satellites are real because you can hear the signal fade in and out as it moves across the sky. You have to actually track the satellite with your antennae, you only have a small window to work with though since the satellite is not in a stationary orbit. The fading in and is caused by the Doppler effect. Come on and take a free ride. |

[link to www.hughesnet.com (secure)] News networks may not have had satellite coverage for internet access either, that would require a satellite in a stationary orbit. Re-positioning a satellite is not something that you just do in 5 minutes, and the trip to the DMZ was not planned so they wouldn't have had enough lead time to get a satellite moved. Besides the networks would have complete control of the sat anyways, they would be paying for access. Last Edited by Pinochet'sChopperPilot on 09/07/2019 11:15 PM Come on and take a free ride. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76836791 United States09/08/2019 11:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hello Astroshill, Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77403082 What frequencies are used in sats? I see 3-4 ghz is common. Many sats in my software starting at 2.7ghz They are very narrow signals, 500 hz max. 1 khz and modulate sinoidal waves (sometimes a perfect sinus). What are these and how do they modulate sat traffic on this carrier frequence? What is the purpose of keeping them modulating a pure sine wave without data? I know how the 130-140mhz sats work but now looking at the C-band spectrum. Dude don't leak this out. |

He is trying to do scientific investigation and spends his time and money doing it. It is his hobby and he seems to love it. Just because you do not understand or like him, you do not have to ridicule and denigrate his efforts. Mutt, Thank you for the pics of Saturn. It is the first time I have seen some of the moons. I think the satellites some were referring to were the Iridium array for communications. They can been seen sometimes when the light reflects off them. Wispy |

You can see the videos and images of it flying away here: Thread: Black Knight Satellite Seen On NASA Ustream. (Page 2) And here: Thread: Black Knight Satellite Seen On NASA Ustream. (Page 2) Another question. From a long time ago.. Been years. Do you remember P Holmes comet? It was a green comet after Hale- Bopp. ( That was a strange one for sure ). But anyway. Did you ever get any film of it? Quoting: NightWisp17P/Holmes?

(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 09/09/2019 09:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I meant to come back last night and say thank you for taking the time to share your feed with everybody.I think I missed the satellites but Saturn was cool. Thanks again. Quoting: DeplorableDoomsdayGuy My pleasure. As I feared, Brent Boshart's Satellite Tracker software is being taken offline. The guy who owns the rights to it wasn't able to get enough out of crowd funding to recoup his initial investment to acquire the rights, so he's just taking it all down now. As far as I'm aware, that will basically leave my program as the only free or open source solution out there for tracking satellites with amateur telescopes. I'm going to be focusing on adding more creature comforts and planning tools to my program in order to make it a viable replacement for the old Satellite Tracker software. |
