Plates. By satellite, then by time.
Every frame this rig has filed, grouped by which bird it came from. Each section is fed by one configured chain; clicking the section header takes you to that instrument's page. Failed captures and unlocked passes are kept in the operational log, not here.

Elektro-L5 is in commissioning at 76°E. Broadcasts are sporadic, clustered around 08:00 UTC, and the first-light attempt on 2026-05-17 yielded no decoded frames. Images appear here once the bird is reliably transmitting and the chain locks.

A polar pass on the V-dipole, before the rig was retired for the L-band rebuild. LRPT, decoded with --dc_block=true after the original attempt yielded a twelfth of the CADU.
