Automated NOAA/Meteor satellite ground station

Utilising Software Defined Radios and two pieces of metal hanging off of the side of the roof, this project works alongside the weather station for capturing satellite imagery of the island, Europe and slightly beyond for detecting weather patterns and potential rain/cloud movements.

Currently, this is just used for showcasing the satellite imagery captured, with future plans on implementing machine learning for automated, hopefully accurate weather predictions for the island.

2026 update: Unfortunately, NOAA have decommissioned APT broadcasts, meaning the Russian Meteor satellites using LRPT are the only sats on this frequency band that can be received these days.
