A heartbreaking view from space of the Los Angeles fires, with smoke billowing into the sky like clouds. 🔥🌎 A stark reminder of the destructive power of wildfires and the urgent need for climate action. #LosAngeles #Fires #ClimateCrisis #Wildfires #Environment #SONATE2

As we conclude the year 2024, we're excited to share a frosty video from @Uni_WUE's SONATE-2 flying over #Antarctica. This marks the perfect ending to an exciting year, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. Wishing you a #MerryChristmas2024 and a Happy #NewYear2025

Over the weekend, SONATE-2's #SSTV transmitter 🛰 is active again, sending 2 different images taken from orbit. The #APRS digipeater will be switched off during that period (13.12.24 15:00 - 16.12.24 11:00 UTC). ➡️go.uniwue.de/sstv Transmission Schedule: (All times UTC)

The KI-SENS project's telescope can do more than tracking orbital objects-it also can be used for astrophotography. Here’s a stunning image of the Horsehead Nebula. This image was created by stacking exposures captured through S-II, O-III, IR-pass, and H-alpha filters.

Over the weekend, SONATE-2's #SSTV transmitter🛰is active again, sending 2 different images taken from orbit. The #APRS digipeater will be switched off during that period (29.11.24 15:00 - 02.12.24 11:05 UTC). ➡️go.uniwue.de/sstv Transmission Schedule: (All times UTC)

We are planning to activate SONATE-2's #SSTV transmitter🛰️again on the weekend. If you would like to receive the signal but your location was not covered by the schedules of the last events: Please send us/reply with your QTH. Unfortunately, SONATE-2 cannot transmit continuously.

@ZSsixSHN @PeterVogel Yes, all times are in UTC.

@JMUSpace @PeterVogel UTC?

Over the weekend, SONATE-2's #SSTV transmitter🛰is active again, sending 2 different images taken from orbit. The #APRS digipeater will be switched off during that period (15.11.24 15:30 - 18.11.24 11:00).📷 ➡go.uniwue.de/sstv Transmission Schedule: (All times UTC)

@PeterVogel Frequency for SSTV is 145.880 MHz

@JMUSpace Could you please publish the frequency? It isn't obvious on your site either. Is it 145.825, or 145.880?

Over the weekend, SONATE-2's #SSTV transmitter 🛰 is active again, sending 2 different images taken from orbit. The #APRS digipeater will be switched off during that period (01.11.24 15:30 - 04.11.24 11:30). 📷 ➡go.uniwue.de/sstv Transmission Schedule: (All times UTC)

How Fast Do Satellites Really Go? SONATE-2 speeds through orbit at over 27,000 km/h! But what does that actually look like? In this video, watch SONATE-2 cover the distance from Kiel to the Weser River in just 23 seconds—a journey that would take about 2 hours by car!

Over the weekend, SONATE-2's #SSTV transmitter 🛰 is active again, sending 2 different images taken from orbit. The #APRS digipeater will be switched of during that period (18.10.24 15:45 - 21.10.24 11:25). ➡go.uniwue.de/sstv Transmission Schedule: (All times UTC)

Tobias Herbst of @JMUSpace today presented preliminary results from the #SONATE-2 mission at #IAC2024 in Milan, Italy. #SONATE-2's primary mission objective is to demonstrate the capabilities of the AI payload developed by our group at the @Uni_WUE

Hurricane Milton 🌀captured by our nanosatellite 🛰️ SONATE-2 a few hours before landfall in Florida. #SONATE2 #nanosatellite #milton #hurricane #hurricanemilton #remotesensing #earthobservation

This also highlights the incredible capability of our observation station to track even small satellites, like #CubeSats. 🔭🌍 (4/4) #Space #SatelliteTracking #CubeSat #SpaceTechnology #SatelliteObservation

At the exact moment #SONATE2 exited Earth’s shadow and became visible to the telescope, our telemetry confirmed that its solar panels started charging the battery, and the current immediately went up. ⚡ (3/4)

✨ We captured a video of our very own satellite! ✨ In collaboration with @WueSpace , our KI-SENS telescope tracked #SONATE2 during one of its passes over #Würzburg! (1/4)
