What frequency is NOAA-15?
137.62 MHz
Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) transmission frequency is 137.62 MHz. Due to problems with the S-band transmitter high-gain antennas, NOAA-15 has been configured for High-Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) using the S-Band Transmitter #2 (1702.5 MHz) omnidirectional antenna.
What does NOAA satellite mean?
Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite
GOES Project Current Status The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite Program (GOES) is a joint effort of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
What does NOAA 15 do?
NOAA-15’s Current Role In its prime, NOAA-15 monitored Earth’s atmosphere, surface and cloud cover, and collected data on a range of environmental factors.
How do I get NOAA satellite images?
NOAA Weather Satellite Antennas. The NOAA APT weather satellites broadcast their signal at about 137 MHz, and their signals are also right hand circularly polarized (RHCP), which means you will need a right hand circularly polarized antenna to properly receive the signals.
What is the purpose of the NWS?
The National Weather Service (NWS) provides weather, hydrologic, and climate forecasts and warnings for the United States, its territories, adjacent waters and ocean areas, for the protection of life and property and the enhancement of the national economy.
What does the GOES-R do?
The GOES-R series is a collaborative development and acquisition effort between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA. The GOES-R satellite, the first of the series, will provide continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere and space weather monitoring.

How do I get NOAA?
To set up a NOAA weather satellite receive station you will need:
- An RTL-SDR dongle working with SDRSharp.
- An audio piping method (e.g. VBCable, Virtual Audio Cable or Stereo Mix)
- A right hand circularly polarized antenna tuned to 137 MHz.
- Software such as WXtoImg for decoding the APT signal.
- An LNA (Optional).
