Title : Meteor M N2-2 Successfully Launched: Awaiting LRPT Signal
Content : On July 5 the Russian Meteor M N2-2 weather satellite was
successfully launched into orbit and appears to be healthy. The
LRPT weather camera signal is not yet broadcasting however, and
we expect it to still take roughly 1-2 months before it begins (if
all goes well) as satellites typically run through a long list of
qualification tests before becoming operational. During this time
there may be broadcasts of test patterns that can be caught. Meteor
M N2-2 can currently be tracked in Orbitron and online at N2YO .
Title : Homebrew SDR Transceiver for HF Operation
Content : Traditionally when we think about Software-Defined Radio
we’re thinking about little USB adapters that unlock a world
of radio in the palm of our hands. This is done by allowing us to
directly sample the IQ data from the mixer within the SDR.
Title : KiwiSDR Conference Talks: KiwiSDR and it’s GPSDO,
TDoA Geo-Location and GNURadio Sources
Content : Thank you to John ZL/KF6VO (creator of the KiwiSDR)
for submitting some interesting KiwiSDR related conference talks
that might be of interest to some readers. If you were unaware
the KiwiSDR is a US$299 HF SDR that can monitor the entire 0 - 30
MHz band at once. It is designed to be web-based and shared, meaning
that the KiwiSDR owner, or anyone that they've given access to can
tune and listen to it via a web browser over the internet. Many
public KiwiSDRs can be found and browsed from the list at sdr.hu
or by signal strength and location on this website . One of
the most interesting KiwiSDR features is it's TDoA capabilities ,
which allow users to geographically locate HF transmitters.
Title : Solar Sail Satellite Lightsail-2 Now Transmitting Morse
Code Beacon
Content : Lightsail-2 is a solar sail experiment which
successfully launched on a Space-X Falcon Heavy on 25 June, and was
released into orbit on July 2nd. A solar sail is a type of spacecraft
that uses a large metallic foil to create propulsion via photons
from the sun hitting it. Lightsail-2 is still undergoing testing,
so it has not yet deployed it's solar sail, but recent updates
indicate that it is healthy.
Title : SignalsEverywhere: Investigating USGS Gaging Stations and
their GOES Satellite Connection
Content : The United States Geological Service maintains over 8500
"Gaging stations" in bodies of water all over the country. Gaging
stations are devices that are used to measure environmental data
such as groundwater levels, discharge, water chemistry, and water
temperature. What's interesting is that they all upload their data
in real time to GOES satellites - the same satellites that we can use
with an RTL-SDR to receive weather images of the entire earth. The
data is then downlinked in the L-band to the USGS scientists via
a protocol known as DCP (Data Collection Platform).
Title : Tracking Company Jets with ADS-B to Give an Edge to Hedge
Fund Investors
Content : Financial news site Bloomberg recently ran an article
about how hedge fund managers are using ADS-B to track private
company aircraft in order to help predict the next megadeal between
companies. They explain with an example:
Title : Running a Tesla Model 3 on Autopilot off the Road with
GPS Spoofing
Content : Regulus is a company that deals with sensor security
issues. In one of their latest experiments they've performed GPS
spoofing with several SDRs to show how easy it is to divert a Tesla
Model 3 driving on autopilot away from it's intended path . Autopilot
is Tesla's semi-autonomous driving feature, which allows the car
to decide it's own turns and lane changes using information from
the car's cameras, Google Maps and it's Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) sensors. Previously drivers had to confirm upcoming
lane changes manually, but a recent update allows this confirmation
to be waived.
Title : Medtronic Minimed Insulin Pumps Recalled due to Wireless
Security Vulnerabilities
