Satellite pipelines

The aim of this is to list all possible satellite processing pipelines as well as their parameters. This does not explain the pipelines by any means. This should just simplify the CLIs use.

NOAA

  • noaa_hrpt: NOAA HRPT
  • noaa_gac: NOAA GAC
    • backward: Over the US, NOAA satellites often transmit in reverse order. This mode allows decoding those backward replays properly.
  • noaa_dsb: NOAA DSB
  • noaa_apt: NOAA APT
    • satellite_number: For apt it is required to know what satellite is being received for projections and overlays. Options are 15, 18, 19
    • start_timestamp: Required for projections and overlays. If your .wav file is a supported format it will be read automatically. Unix timestamp of the start of the file. Must be UTC Unix timestamp in seconds.
    • align_timestamps: Aligns pass to the correct time using timing marks in the APT space data. Start time must still be within 15 seconds for this to work! Default: true
    • sdrpp_noise_reduction: Uses the APT noise reduction originally implemented in SDR++. Default: True
    • save_unsynced: Saves the image before it's syncronized. Useful for weak signals or when using narrowband receivers. Default: True
    • autocrop_wedges: This will automatically crop the image to only include telemetry wedges considered valid. May discard a lot on bad images! Default: False
    • max_crop_stddev: If autocropping, the amount of noise to allow at the top/bottom of the image. Lower values = more cropping. Default: 3500. Useful range is about 400 - 10,000
    • save_wav: Saves the wav file. Default: False

Meteor M

  • meteor_hrpt: METEOR HRPT

    • year_override: Override of the year used for timestamps. Required when you are processing your file in a different year than the data was created.

  • meteor_m2_lrpt: METEOR M2 LRPT 72k

    • satellite_number: If specified, overrides automatic satellite dection, and treats the data as the specified satellite. Valid options: "M2", "M2-2", "M2-3", or "M2-4".
    • fill_missing: Fills in black lines caused by signal drop-outs or interference
    • max_fill_lines: Maximum contiguous lines to correct. Default is 50

  • meteor_m2-x_lrpt: METEOR M2-X LRPT 72k: Same parameters as meteor_m2_lrpt, plus

    • rs_usecheck: Discards data that fails the Reed-Solomon check. True by default, and it is recommended you leave it on, but you can set it to "false" if the satellite is transmitting bad RS codes, which may happen from time to time.
