The two types of orbits that have the satellites I use to receive imagery and data from. USRadioguy 2023-02-26 | A quick render of the orbits of the satellites I use to receive data and imagery from to create the pictures and videos you see on my website usradioguy.com and here.
Weather Satellites watching the earth USRadioguy 2024-07-06 | There are a lot of eyes on Earth, watching from above, Tracking weather systems, Measuring atmospheric properties, and Monitoring other environmental factors.This is a rendering of the satellites that I frequently use as data sources for my satellite research and experiments. Rendered with ANSYS STK, this shows the scans the LEO Polar-orbiting satellites make, as well as those from Geo-Stationary Orbits.
GOES16 327days USRadioguy 2024-06-23 | Just a quick test of running HRIT imagery unprocessed into a 327 day video of earth from GOES-16
Vitality 2024 a brief over view for viewing satellite imagery and EMWIN data over a web app tool. USRadioguy 2024-01-05 | A brief rundown of my GOES Vitality Setup A Web App for showcasing Geostationary Weather Satellite Data. Vitality GOES is designed to display data received from GOES-16/18 satellites via goestools, Satdump, or XRIT Decoder, but images from other satellites can be displayed as well.
Quick demonstration using layers within Satdump, and a quick offline processing of an APT wav file. USRadioguy 2023-09-25 | Just a short description of using layers in Satdump
GOES 16, GOES18, and Himawari 9 rendered in Virtual Satellite mode USRadioguy 2023-08-18 | GOES 16, GOES18, and Himawari 9 rendered in Virtual Satellite mode using imagery received, then using Sanchez to stitch and then reformatting using the virtual satellite mode which creates a image as observed from an advancing longitude.
GOES 18 March 12th through the 18th 2023 4K USRadioguy 2023-03-18 | @usradioguy GOES 18 imagery using bands 02,13,15 and rendering in day/night animation.
GOES 18 March 12th through the 18th 2023 USRadioguy 2023-03-18 | @usradioguy GOES 18 imagery using bands 02,13,15 and rendering in day/night animation.
What does Sanchez do? USRadioguy 2023-02-25 | A fast answer to what the Open source software Sanchez can do
Day/Night image creation using Xplanet and Sanchez together. USRadioguy 2023-02-23 | An explanation of the two snippets of code pulled from my rather lengthy script, that pertain to just the xplanet and Sanchez processes. There are many variables to consider in creating such an animation, including the projection type, opacities, brightness, sun position, resolution, date, and time settings in UTC, etc.

Batch Scripting to create 36 hour Global Imagery Animation USRadioguy 2023-02-22 | You asked for it... Here is an explanation of the batch file script I use to generate 36-hour animation of GOES imagery while optimizing, time stamping, adding a brand, and the creation of the mp4.There are many ways to do this, and this is but one, I show some other changes that could be made as well along with the link to the script in the comments.
Open-source software-what is it, and the applications I use for the processing of satellite imagery USRadioguy 2023-02-19 | What is open-source software? I talk about the various types of open-source software I use on a day to day basis for decoding and post-processing of satellite imagery.You've got a bunch of talented programmers, all working together to create code that anyone can use and improve upon. They're not hoarding their knowledge like some kind of digital dragon - no way! They're sharing their coding secrets and creating software that is accessible to everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros.Plus, open-source software is constantly evolving and improving. The community is always coming up with new features and fixing bugs, ensuring that the software is always up-to-date and secure.So basically, open-source coding is like a never-ending party where everyone's invited and the guest list just keeps getting bigger and better. It's innovative, it's accessible, and it's downright awesome. If you're not jumping on the open-source coding bandwagon, you're seriously missing out!
A look at my outdoor dishes and antennas USRadioguy 2023-02-18 | A little look at my gear outside, dishes, antennas, and all-sky cameras. Links to what is shown in the comments.
The Kessler Effect, or the Kessler Syndrome USRadioguy 2023-02-16 | Since 1957, mankind has launched nearly ten thousand satellites into the sky. All but about twenty-seven hundred are now defunct or destroyed. Collectively, they cost billions and billions of dollars, but they were launched with the understanding that they were cheaper to abandon than to sustain. Some, like Sputnik, have burned up. Thousands, like Vanguard, will stay in orbit for decades or centuries, careering around the planet as ballistic garbage: a hazard to astronauts and unmanned spacecraft alike.
