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.

Satellites

The archive contains Automatic Picture Transmissions (APT) by US weather satellites NOAA-15, NOAA-18 and NOAA-19.

Seattle, United States

It's only appropriate that just as the first heat wave strikes Seattle this summer, the life of 1 of only 3 remaining NOAA polar-orbiting satellites in operation has unexpectedly come to an end. Thanks to the unprecedented agency funding cuts in the current presidential administration, NOAA has ended support for this satellite program. While our skies are becoming smokier and hotter, we are losing more instruments to observe and document these changes. This image of static is the first pass decoded at the Seattle AGS after NOAA 18 was decommissioned. Rest in peaceful orbit...
