March 2010 | GOES Launch
On March 4th 2010 NASA launched the GOES P Geostationary Weather satellite. It will be renamed GOES 15 once it reaches operational status. There are also 5 other U.S. GOES satellites currently on orbit.
February 2010 | GOES Box Software Update
To Support GOES 13 and beyond (GOES N-Q) a software update to the GOES Box and RVT Workstation is necessary. On April 14th, 2010 GOES 13 will become the operational GOES East satellite replacing GOES 12. If you have not already received an email regarding this then please Contact us for more details.
November 2009 | Portable High Resolution Systems available
Automated Sciences is now offering portable high resolution Weather satellite systems for NOAA GOES, JMA MTSAT, and CMA FY2 satellites. These systems include a dish that can be assembled in less than an hour and a portable computer system that includes our digital Receiver and full suite of image processing software including the powerful Rapid Visualization tool. Contact us for more details or to discuss your needs.
July 2009 | GOES Launch
On July 8th 2009 NASA launched the GOES O Geostationary Weather satellite. It since has been turned over to NOAA and renamed GOES 14 . There are also 4 other U.S. GOES satellites currently on orbit.
February 2009 | POES Launch
On February 6th, 2009 polar orbiting satellite NOAA-19 was launched, to replace NOAA-17. There are also 4 other U.S. POES satellites currently sending usable imager data. Data from POES satellites has applications in meteorology, oceanography, land use management, agriculture, and other fields. Contact us to discuss your needs.
March 2008 | China operates two satellite constellation covering Asia and the middle East
China is operating a second Geostationary Weather satellite of the FY-2 series, FY-2D, at 86.5 degrees East. This provides coverage of most of Asia and the Middle East providing satellite coverage to an area that previously was poorly covered by an old European satellite. Data from this satellite can be acquired with no data fees using one of our low cost FY-2 GOES Box systems. Contact us for more details or to discuss your needs.
May 2006 | MTSAT-2 Transmits First Images
The Japanese MTSAT-2 transmitted its first test images on May 11, 2006. After in-orbit tests, it will be moved to 145° E later this summer, where it will be in stand-by mode until around 2010. MTSAT-1R will continue to provide geostationary satellite coverage from 135° E. Automated Sciences has solutions to receive and process MTSAT data.
July 2005 | MTSAT Status
The Japanese MTSAT satellite is transmitting a high resolution data stream and low resolution LRIT data. We have solutions available today to receive and process both types of data.
June 2005 | LRIT Data
Both NOAA GOES satellites are transmitting a type of data called LRIT data, as a replacement to the old analog WEFAX standard. The LRIT satellite images are higher in resolution and quality than what was available via WEFAX. The direct result of it being digital data. WEFAX users can utilize their existing dishes to receive LRIT. We have an LRIT system available that operates with the LRIT data stream from the GOES satellites. This system includes our popular SuperLooper animation and image processing tool to allow multiple users to look at and analyze the data and time lapse animations. .
