Nedanstående information ger lite tips om hur man kan ta emot telemetri från den nya satelliten STRaND-1. Det finns intressant info om hur man kan använda DSP-mottagare tex. FunCube Dongle. Se mitt i texten!
STRaND-1 carries an amateur radio AX.25 packet radio downlink on
437.568 MHz using 9600 bps FSK modulated data with HDLC frame, NRZI
encoding.
Free satellite tracking software:

• Gpredict http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/
• Orbitron http://www.amsat-uk.org/?p=9051
Dr Chris Bridges would be delighted to receive all available
telemetry files by email to C.P.Bridges@surrey.ac.uk
Mark Hammond N8MH has provided these tips to decode STRaND-1:
(1) Sprint-2 TNC set at 9600 baud in KISS mode (or any 9600 TNC in
KISS mode probably)
(2) Using this software to capture

(3) And using this software to decode the captured KISS files

Thanks to Mike Rupprecht DK3WN for the excellent software.
Jan PE0SAT describes how he used the free TNC emulator software
AGWPE and SDR# to decode the telemetry. This approach means you don’t
have to buy a dedicated hardware TNC it simply uses your existing PC
and radio that supports 9600 bps data:
(1) Record a pass using SDR# and a FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and save the
IQ wav file so you can work with it after the pass.
(2) Configure AGW Packet Engine (AGWPE) as a 9600 baud modem using
your audio mixer as input. If you don’t have an audio mixer, use
audio VAC to route the received audio to the AGW audio input.
(3) When the AGW packet engine is running use AGW-Online-KISS from
DK3WN to connect to the packet engine and decode the telemetry.
(4) Open the IQ wav file within SDR# and playback the recorded file
and tune to the correct receive frequency, now you can see decoded
data within Online-Kiss.
(5) Feed the files captured to KISS-Dump
