Ground Station Type

Automatic Ground Stations are local, semi-permanent stations that record and upload satellite transmissions automatically once per day. Manual ground stations are DIY and often mobile; operators manually record and upload satellite transmissions.

Santa Monica Mountains, United States

From a trail in the Santa Monica mountains just above Pacific Palisades I captured this satellite pass. The marine layer is beginning to burn off a little earlier in the day. What used to be a charred landscape just a few months earlier is now mostly covered with some plant life. Fresh growth is emerging from the base of many shrubs (chamise, laurel sumac, elderberry) as the roots are still very much alive. Coastal morning glory climb up burnt skeletons. Many bees take sips from large-flowered phacelia. Meanwhile a "No Kings" demonstration in Santa Monica attracted thousands of peaceful protesters.

Today is a very nice day in my area, the temperature is expected to be around 25 Celsius, no clouds, 65% humidity and about 3km/h wind speed. As this was one of the last good passes above my home, before NOAA shuts down transmissions, I wanted to immortalize this nice view of Europe and even Africa.

Pacific Palisades, California, United States

Returned to a spot in Pacific Palisades overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The overcast skies are typical "June gloom". In the second image you can see the opportunistic and invasive black mustard being among the first to recolonize after the fires. Below the bluffs there is a mobile home community which was completely wiped out by the Palisades Fire. On the left you can see the burned lots that have been cleared and covered with an organic pulp to help reduce dust. On the right of the same image are lots that have not been cleared yet. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has been invaded by the National Guard which neither the mayor of governor requested. During the election, the current president categorized "illegal" immigrants as violent rapists and murders invading our country. Starting a week ago ICE officials started raiding a garment factory and a Home Depot where people go to find work. I didn't know the violent rapists and murders were also good a sewing and construction. Protests, mostly peaceful, showed up in a few areas. Questionable tactics targeting vulnerable workers justify the outrage.

Lots of heavy rain this afternoon - walking through the woods and you could feel the clouds wanting to release for a long time before they did. A clearer sky this evening but it felt like there was more static in the air. I liked moving around a bit more this time and playing with the signal.

Bidston Observatory, Wirral, UK

A warm and sticky day on Bidston Hill, with high clouds and wind moving in at dusk. I finally got the bits for a V-Dipole antenna and it felt nice to observe a passing satellite with an antenna in my hands. I also felt a little sad knowing that NOAA18 had stopped signalling last week, so was galvanised to connect with 19 at last! More to come...

A large number of flying insects gathered around the antenna during this sounding, as Typhoon warplanes roared overhead. A collision of scales and contexts and modes of thinking and being in the atmosphere - as a critical medium of life, as a territory to be contested and controlled, as a domain to be observed and quantified, measured and modelled.
