Todays progress

I've actually made a fair bit of progress on the software side of things. I can now kick off the GnuRadio bits'n'bobs as required from the GUI and then control them with XMLRPC. This allows me to do the Doppler corrections in real time - as you can see from the attached picture of the pass of ISS a few minutes ago. I'm having some issues with processes & zombies, bit hopefully I'll get to the problem that is causing me some robustness issues over the coming week.

Has anyone seen any recent TLEs for AENEAS?

Todays sats

I attempted listened to the following:

• HO-68 (09:50 GMT)
• CO-65 (10:05 GMT)
• FO-29 (10:30 GMT)
• CubeBug-1 (10:54 GMT) - Not heard
• ESTcube1 (11:27 GMT) - Not heard
• SO-50 (12:44 GMT)
• ITUpSAT (13:04 GMT)
• AENEAS (14:35 GMT)

The equipment was the same as last week. Times are approx AOS.

Started to restructure my software to start to allow me to do real time doppler corrections and then decode it - however its going to take a few more weeks of coding 'till I get something useful.

I ordered a comb generator from AMSAT-UK, which turned up yesterday. Hopefully this will allow me to quantify the drift I think I'm seeing in my RTLSDR (E4000) USB dongle. I started to assemble it but the SMD components have slowed me down.
