EUMETSAT, NOAA ,& JMA
The visualisation, comprised of imagery from the geostationary satellites of EUMETSAT, NOAA and the JMA, shows an entire year of weather across the globe during 2013, with commentary from Mark Higgins, Training Officer at EUMETSAT.
The satellite data layer is superimposed over NASA's 'Blue Marble Next Generation' ground maps, which change with the seasons

ARTSAT
The “ARTSAT: Art and Satellite Project” utilizes a satellite orbiting the earth as a “medium that connects everyday life to the universe”. In the course of the project, a variety of interactive works of media art and other artworks will be created.
The project is carried out in a collaborative effort around a core team of over 70 members from Tama Art University and The University of Tokyo. The latter’s team developed a specialized “art satellite” for artistic purposes, while the team from Tama Art University is in charge of producing works based on data from the satellite, operating a ground station, and distributing data.
“ARTSAT1: INVADER(*)”, the world’s first art satellite, has been selected for a piggyback payload on the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) H-IIA rocket. The ultrasmall 1U CubeSat, measuring only 10 x 10cm and weighing 1.5kg, is scheduled to be launched in February 2014, after which it will be traveling on a circular, polar sun-asynchronous orbit at an altitude of 407km, and with an inclination of 65 degrees.

Firebird Beacon decoded
00:08 00:16 UTC
Orbit # 257
Signal was strong .
Decoded via SoundModem V0.16
Setup as in the following Image.
The signal is wide so increase the BW to around 40 kHz.

KySat-2 decoder via virtual ports
Great 2 virtual ports e.g. COM2 and COM6 using -VSPE or other Virtual com generator software.
Open agw_onlinekiss.ini file
At agw_onlinekiss.ini setup the Mirror port to one of the
virtual port com eg COM6.
save and exit the ini file.
Open SoundModum V0.10b G3RUH
Open AGW onlinekiss program.
Clik on connect AGW button.
Connection will established between Soundmodeum
and AGW onlinekiss
Click Option select mirror incoming data to com port.
If the two LED shine GREEN at AGW = Connection was established
and no error for data to flow in and out.
Otherwise if one or the two LED are RED check the COMS and the other parameters .
KySat-2 Decoder
Add COM2 to custom port at the new KySat-2 decoder.
Version 2.1 (Latest).
write it down on the small text window
click refresh button.
the added com will appeared at the drop-down coms list.
select it and select the other com parameters eg = 9600,N,8,1.
Click connect
Re- play the IQ file and re-tune to middle of the 9k6 Buad signal.
Mode NFM.
Squelch off.
Audio via Windows XP Mixer.
Data will shows up on:
SoundModem --- AGW ONLINE --- KySat-2 Decoder
with readable engineering values.
EPS Telemetry engineering values.
KySat-2 Beacon Information :
Frequency: 437.405 MHz
Modulation Scheme: FSK
Data Rates: 9600 Baud
Protocol: AX.25
Output Transmit Power: ~1W
Beacon Period: 15-45 seconds

QSOs near the beacon !!!
QSOs near the beacon drives the auto tune crazy !!!
this was noticed when the transponder driven heavily over Europe.
The beacon signal over Africa is quite and strong .
Graphically restricted auto tune range help beacon tuning.
