Satellite Featured Receiving Images from Geostationary Weather Satellite GK-2A GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A) is a geostationary weather satellite operated by the National Meteorological Satellite Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration. It is positioned over the equator at 128.2°E longitude which is visible from Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, China, India and Eastern Russia. ⚠️This guide is now
Electronics Open Source Pmod Designs The Pmod Standard developed by Digilent is a peripheral protocol, interconnect and form-factor guideline supported by various FPGA and microcontroller development boards. Digilent manufacture a wide variety of modules which conform to the Pmod standard. Some development boards which support the standard are listed below. Board FPGA Price Purchase MuseLab
Satellite GK-2A IR Colour Enhancement Since its commissioning on July 25th 2019, GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A) has been downlinking Full Disk images every 10 minutes over LRIT and HRIT. Unfortunately the LRIT downlink only transmits a single Infrared channel called IR105 (10.4μm) due to bandwidth constraints. This means false colour imagery cannot be created using data
Satellite GK-2A Test Week Between Monday 2nd and Friday 5th of July 2019 the KMA NMSC conducted testing of their new geostationary weather satellite GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A). This post is a summary of the testing carried out during this period, as well as some observations regarding new data types and formats. RF Carriers Around 9:
Satellite Satellite Ground Station Map This map is a collection of various types of satellite ground stations located across Australia. Types of marked sites include large telecommunication hubs, deep space tracking stations run by NASA/CSIRO and the ESA, control centers for commercial satellite operators, broadcast uplink/distribution nodes, and rural National Broadband Network nodes.
Satellite COMS-1 LRIT Key Decryption Like NOAA's series of GOES meteorological satellites, COMS-1 (128.2°E) operated by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has both LRIT and HRIT downlinks for disseminating real-time meteorological data. Unlike GOES, these downlinks are encrypted using single-layer DES and decryption keys are controlled by KMA through an application
