NOAA 14 APT images

 

This is a collection of images which I received in 1998 from the polar orbiting weather satellite NOAA-14. All pictures were received on 137.620 MHz using a home-built FM receiver based on a kit from Holger Eckardt DF2FQ (shown on the picture to the right). With this receiver and a 2m X-Quad antenna I received the automatic picture (APT) transmissions of NOAA-14 and decoded them using the sound card of my PC. The complete station was running fully automated and was controlled by a PC. The pictures are sorted by date of reception. Sometime I was able to receive 3 passes, sometime only 1 or 2 of them. In the black and white pictures you can see the raw picture which is comprised of 2 images side by side: the left is taken in the infrared (IR) spectrum, the right is taken in the visible (VIS) spectrum. The false colours were generated by using the combined information from both (IR and VIS) images.
