   33: Decode images from a weather satellite!

   I couldn't stop trying to capture a weather satellite, it's just too cool to receive an image from space!

   This evening, an American satellite called NOAA-15 passed right over us, so I thought I'd try again. And this time, I got parts of an image! \o/

   This is real-time data! At night, both transmitted images are infrared recordings.

   I recorded the FM signal using SDR++, and then decoded the image using noaa-apt, which also added country outlines.
