Hi!
Maplin's published a design for a Weather Satellite Receiving System in the mid 1980s built in two 2U size 19" Rack cases, one for the Receiver Project and another for the Decoder/PSU unit, made to operate via an Amstrad PC (with an optional Frame Store design they also published) or BBC Model B.
Has anyone got the documentation for this project, and would it be still be feasible to attempt to build this?
Does it require any special programmed devices or was the dump published?
Are the satellites (NOAA, TIROS, etc.,) still in operation and if so, are they likely to remain operational for long enough to make an attempt at this project worthwhile?
I was really interested in this system but it was totally beyond my finances at the time!
