13.25°E H2Sat (Heinrich Hertz)

  • <Edit> Was at 0.5E, moved to 13.25E November 2024

    Has anyone seen anything from this satellite, apart from its Ku beacon?

    2283.5-2288.5MHz (TT&C)

    10950-11700MHz

    19.7-20.2GHz

  • Hi s-band

    My circular scan shows a peak at 20200 on 1.8m.

  • Thanks, qwer, I had another look on Ku and can just see the a BPSK that flips in the demod creating an X.

    I also noticed that there's a carrier on 10951MHz which appears to be circular polarised.

  • Just a try here on 2.2m... on 10951 and 10953...

    I can see a "butterfly" (joke)

  • Wenn man sich Wikipedia ansieht, könnte das K-band erfolgversprechender sein, als das Ku-Band.

    If you look at Wikipedia, the K-band might be more promising than the Ku-band.

    Wer nicht die Antennengröße und den ungefähren Standort angibt, postet sinnlos, sofern es um eine Signalerfassung geht.

    If you don't specify the antenna size and the approximate location, posting is useless if it's about signal acquisition.

  • I found this pre-launch document:

    Heinrich Hertz Mission - eoPortal

    It looks like you are correct femi

    • 7 channels with 36 MHz bandwidth each at Ka-band (= appr. 7 x 50 Mbit/s = 350 Mbit/s)

    • 1 channel with up to 450 MHz bandwidth at Ka-band (= appr. 1 x 625 Mbit/s)

    • [1 ISL (Intersatellite Link) with 36 MHz bandwidth at Ka-band (= appr. 1 x 50 Mbit/s)]

    • 1 channel with 45 MHz bandwidth at Ku-band (= appr. 1 x 62 Mbit/s)

    The coverage map shows a different orbital position but 2 of the beams are very tight on north and south Germany. There probably will not be anything de-codable.

    Changed the title of the thread from “0.5°E H2Sat (Heinrich Hertz)” to “13.25°E H2Sat (Heinrich Hertz)”.
  • Thanks to hvdh for the information, H2Sat has moved to 13.25E. I can't see anything from it on Ku now as it is too close to 13E and its beacon frequency has a DVB signal on it.
