SpaceX decoding

Good summary on SpaceX decoding so far by Scott Manley: How Amateur Radio Fans Decoded SpaceX's Telemetry & Engineering Video

 

  Over the weekend amateur radio tinkerers in Europe managed to decode some portions of the telemetry data broadcast by the second stage of the Falcon 9 when it's in orbit. This data was in a somewhat standard format, but decoding still required some custom tools to extract the bitstream from the signal and then some guesswork to figure out the exact format. There's still lots of unknown data, but most interestingly this gave access to the engineering cameras including one showing the interior of the liquid oxygen tank.

We are pushing the boundaries yet again!

Decoded this really cool video from #SpaceX #Falcon9 2nd stage S-band down-link. Great views of the Earth and also inside view of the fuel tank. Too bad it only transmits for 2 orbits or less. Thanks to the for the recording. We are pushing the boundaries yet again!
