Is it just me, or did everyone miss some complete HRIT scans on those two days: Aug 25 Scan: 1500 2100 Aug 26 Scan: 0300 0900 1500 Seems to be something awfully systematic in those numbers!

Hi, I was just wondering, since the direct downlink of the data from MSG- 1 will not be possible, what would prevent Eumetsat from positioning MSG-1 close by 0 degrees, let's say 0.5E, and run the

Will MSG-1 have eclipse periods like other geostationary satellites, when there is not enough power to keep the electronics fully running? I am presuming so, but have seen no announcement as yet.

4, it somewhere? This is off-topic - please take this to the SatSignal group. Thanks, David

I notice that after closing down MSG DM, settings such as histogram equalise are not retained. I suspect that I tend to use the same settings for most channels - could we save these at close

I am finding that when channel-4 (infra-red) is dropped into GSS-4, it is being interpreted as a visible channel. My settings out somewhere? Lawrence

Can we have a (sensible) choice Guy

Given the ability of the HRV scanner to look at two different windows during its scan - with separate east-west starting points for the upper and lower segments - how would you like to see the scan

Lawrence, I would try to see if a 1.8m dish would be enough to receive MSG-1 in C-band from Atlantic Bird, if I were you. Just pure curiosity, as I think that the data is an exact bit dump of the

Essentially, the NOAA polar orbiters provide digital (h.r.p.t.) telemetry even if (as must be the case) the original optical image is sampled digitally for coding and transmission. I would think of

David, true enough, for us lucky ones that live in the footprint of Hotbird. I have good result with a 40cm dish (when it's not windy or rainy!) The C-band setup is definitely much more expensive

not originally planned. I suppose that the idea of doing it this way was not even thought about, yet the cost implications for the user are the difference between receiving it and not receiving it.

Hi crowd ;) Me too :) It seems I was the first to enlist this morning. Wow. My MSG frontend is in the make. From the MSG official site, I understand that it was originally intended to use the
