In the fall of 2016, I saw my first rocket launch and little did I know that the satellite on that rocket would shape and fill my thoughts for years to come. We're no strangers to getting data from space on this channel, but GOES-16 is special, and not just because I was there when it left Earth. Unlike the satellites we've looked at in the past, GOES is in geostationary orbit and has an amazing array of cameras and sensors on board. Although it is a little more difficult to receive data from GOES, the extra effort is definitely worth it, especially since it can then see the entire world at once and send these images in stunningly high resolution. And it even comes with the added bonus of rebroadcasting data from other satellites, giving us a view of the other side of the planet as well.

In this video we discuss the hardware and software required to receive these beautiful images and what is included in the signals we receive.

Many thanks to Lucas and the Open Satellite project team, Pieter N, and Paul for making this project possible.
