Hack a weather satellite

8th December, 2011 by Hugh Knowles | Add a comment

Well this is pretty audacious. Someone has learnt how to take data off the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s weather satellites using some relatively basic electronics that are readily available. The hacker is hoping to set up an automated system to pull images off these low orbit satellites when they pass over. Maybe soon we can all have our own weather satellite images.

The geeks shall indeed inherit the earth.
