Hi Everyone,
I spent some time plotting the ARISSat-1 SSTV images geo-spatially. Let me know what you think!

Joe,
I've been following your project with keen interest. This is really keen stuff. Now, looking forward, two thoughts come to mind. One, how to adapt this to lesson plans that can be easily adapted to classroom work. Two, how to apply the same techniques, perhaps in real, or near real time, to Fox. And of course these lead to a third, aligning the Fox data relative to the classroom as near to when it's happening as possible to build interest and educate at the same time. This just might be the forward edge, with our educational mission, that we missed with ARISSat-1.

EMike,
My code and processing scripts push through all of the data in a couple of seconds. And that's processing ALL of it.
So it would be reasonably trivial to do all of this in realtime and have maps with plots available with telemetry overlays / etc.
Now that I have all the "hard work" done, there are lots of places we can go with this.
I am going to make a web-interface with all of this stuff, so that others can browse through it.

This is excellent, Joe. Could this same technique be used for all the ISS images as well?
It might be interesting to sequence all the ARISSat-1 images into a movie, watching the planet get closer and closer over time...

Greg,
For the record, I updated my blog to clarify what it is that i'm plotting. Specifically, when you see an image on my plot, you are seeing the image that a station received at that point in time. This image was not necessarily taken from the particular geographic location.
As much as I am an ARISSat-1 fanatic, I don't think playing these particular images in a sequence would look good.
I plan on generating a 3D fly-through that show the satellite orbiting and little animations when ground-stations received telemetry. I would like to also show some of the more vital telemetry values in a window while the animation is playing, so you could re-live the flight! If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, feel free to shoot them my way. I will probably have my first-stab at a fly-through video in a day or so... I just have to get around to it. Today, i've been focusing on telemetry analysis and doing a nice plot of ground stations.
