Decoding (C)(M)HRPT, METOP, Fengyun-3 and MSG weathersatellites.

These pages contain information about weather satellite related hardware and software:
  • A simple to build decoder/generator for HRPT, CHRPT, MHRPT and HRI (PDUS).
  • wsat: a program needed in combination with the decoder, to store and process the pictures
  • xrit2pic: a program to manage LRIT/HRIT pictures, transmitted by MSG (Meteosat Second Generation) and more.
  • xtrack: a satellite tracking program.

    All software is free available: compiled (for Linux and Windows).
