All,
The purpose of this email is to find out if anyone at Amsat would be interested in a satellite status rss feed.
I am reasonably new to Amsat (and sat stuffs) and thought it would be useful to have satellite summary and mode data available in an xml format. I felt RSS combined with some custom amsat tags would be a good fit. It would essentially be a regular rss feed (xml file) that will be extended with some amsat specific tags for satellite summary and mode data. This data could then be used by the community for obtaining satellite status updates if they'd like. This would definitely be a nice resource for anyone in the community, especially developers.
To date, i've mentioned the idea to Andrew G and David J and both have seemed open to have open arms to the idea (Andrew / David, correct me if i'm wrong :-)) I wanted to open this idea up to others at Amsat.org in order to get more input.
There are probably quite a few challenges here, including:
A) Determining where all the sat status data originates and figuring out how it should all be aggregated Notes: Andrew indicated there is quite a bit of manual work that takes place to obtain this data and make it available on amsat.org. I haven't solved this problem, I still need to do my homework here :-)
B) Determining the format of the amsat specific tags to be used in the xml Notes: I mentioned the idea to Andrew G. and David J briefly over email and started proposing some ideas. I attached a sample rss xml file to this email. This is by no means comprehensive or complete, but simply exists to provide some insight into what the custom tags could potentially look like. If i've left anything out that may be of interest, please let me know.
C) Getting all the data into the RSS feed to start out Notes: I created a python script that walks through all the amsat.org satellite status pages and scrapes the summary and mode data. It then aggregates it all into a text file for now. I can very easily use a template engine to get this data into the rss xml format, once it's agreed upon. This should drastically reduce the amount of effort to get this feed started.
To give everyone on the list an idea of what i'm talking about here I attached both the sample rss file and status.txt file generated by my script. The status.txt file as I mentioned is just what the "scraped out" data looks like. This file would then be translated into the final rss xml format to get things started. If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me. The main question I would like to have answered by the community are:
1) Is anyone in the community interested in an rss feed like this? 2) Would anyone have a use for sat summary, mode and keps data being provided in such a way?
Let me know, Joseph Armbruster, KJ4JIO

If the data were complete and kept reasonably up-to-date (new launches added and dead birds removed within a few days), this would be EXCELLENT. I'm all for it. Would be nice to throw a script together to update the Predict DB and sat list automatically on each startup...

All,
The purpose of this email is to find out if anyone at Amsat would be interested in a satellite status rss feed.
I am reasonably new to Amsat (and sat stuffs) and thought it would be useful to have satellite summary and mode data available in an xml format. I felt RSS combined with some custom amsat tags would be a good fit. It would essentially be a regular rss feed (xml file) that will be extended with some amsat specific tags for satellite summary and mode data. This data could then be used by the community for obtaining satellite status updates if they'd like. This would definitely be a nice resource for anyone in the community, especially developers.
To date, i've mentioned the idea to Andrew G and David J and both have seemed open to have open arms to the idea (Andrew / David, correct me if i'm wrong :-)) I wanted to open this idea up to others at Amsat.org in order to get more input.
There are probably quite a few challenges here, including:
A) Determining where all the sat status data originates and figuring out how it should all be aggregated Notes: Andrew indicated there is quite a bit of manual work that takes place to obtain this data and make it available on amsat.org. I haven't solved this problem, I still need to do my homework here :-)
B) Determining the format of the amsat specific tags to be used in the xml Notes: I mentioned the idea to Andrew G. and David J briefly over email and started proposing some ideas. I attached a sample rss xml file to this email. This is by no means comprehensive or complete, but simply exists to provide some insight into what the custom tags could potentially look like. If i've left anything out that may be of interest, please let me know.
C) Getting all the data into the RSS feed to start out Notes: I created a python script that walks through all the amsat.org satellite status pages and scrapes the summary and mode data. It then aggregates it all into a text file for now. I can very easily use a template engine to get this data into the rss xml format, once it's agreed upon. This should drastically reduce the amount of effort to get this feed started.
To give everyone on the list an idea of what i'm talking about here I attached both the sample rss file and status.txt file generated by my script. The status.txt file as I mentioned is just what the "scraped out" data looks like. This file would then be translated into the final rss xml format to get things started. If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me. The main question I would like to have answered by the community are:
- Is anyone in the community interested in an rss feed like this?
- Would anyone have a use for sat summary, mode and keps data being
provided in such a way?
Let me know, Joseph Armbruster, KJ4JIO
Joseph,
I for one would like to see RSS available. It is rapidly becoming my favorite way to keep track of areas of interest in something like real time.
Alan WA4SCA
Well, I have never used rss feeds nor even how you get them...therefore, I do not miss whatever they are! (HINT: maybe need a tutorial, here?)
Your example does give nice links to summary info for each satellite, but the status links are empty. Would I guess that current info on what modes are activated show up in them? For active satellite operators that would have the most value.
I guess I'm neutral on the idea. The history of Amsat's website and information system is that it is inconsistent (ANS an Journal have been great, though). Guru's come and it's great; they burn out and leave and it's not. I realise this is a pretty brutal evaluation, but one should examine their commitment level before starting. I think this is why Amsat-NA volunteers are thoroughly vetted. Big reponsibility to maintain what you start!
But we welcome your enthusiasm!!!

I would love to see a RSS feed.

Kent, I think this is an excellent idea. Perhaps something to generate an ical file for sat modes on the birds that change modes often (think AO-51). I would also be interested in helping with the development of this system.
Joe, I would be very interested in a script that consumed this RSS feed and updated the predict.db file. Maybe even a patch to predict that made this a built in feature?
Thanks, Josh Smith KD8HRX

A patch to Predict itself would be a project for a better C hacker than myself, but an external script would be pretty easy, as long as the feed has the necessary data (name, NORAD number, freqs/bandwidth and keps) in a convenient format. If/when the feed goes up, I will write something and post it here for anyone interested.
Joe KJ4JIO: something like this would be easiest to parse for applications like this: (hope the listserv doesn't screw up my formatting)
<sat name="AO-7" norad=7530> <transponder name="Mode A" type="Linear"> <upstart>145.850</upstart> <upend>145.950</upend> <dnstart>29.400</dnstart> <dnend>29.500</dnend> </transponder> <transponder name="Mode B" type="Linear"> <upstart>432.125</upstart> <upend>432.175</upend> <dnstart>145.975</dnstart> <dnend>145.925</dnend> </transponder> <transponder name="FM/packet example" type="FM"> <upstart>145.850</upstart> <dnstart>436.800</dnstart> </transponder> <beacon name="Mode A beacon" freq=29.502 type="CW" /> <beacon name="Mode B beacon" freq=145.9775 type="CW" /> <kep1>1 07530U 74089B 09100.65238050 -.00000027 00000-0 10000-3 0 4485</kep1> <kep2>2 07530 101.4327 127.7953 0012098 041.9469 318.2525 12.53575514574259</kep2> </sat>
You could, of course, include some additional "human-readable" info that the parser would simply ignore.

Joe,
This Should be cake, although i'm not familiar at all with the predict source code. I should be able to hack this together in my spare time. In fact, i'm going to set up a new VM tonight just for satellite app hacking and such.

A patch to Predict itself would be a project for a better C hacker than myself, but an external script would be pretty easy, as long as the feed has the necessary data (name, NORAD number, freqs/bandwidth and keps) in a convenient format. If/when the feed goes up, I will write something and post it here for anyone interested.
Joe KJ4JIO: something like this would be easiest to parse for applications like this: (hope the listserv doesn't screw up my formatting)
<sat name="AO-7" norad=7530> <transponder name="Mode A" type="Linear"> <upstart>145.850</upstart> <upend>145.950</upend> <dnstart>29.400</dnstart> <dnend>29.500</dnend> </transponder> <transponder name="Mode B" type="Linear"> <upstart>432.125</upstart> <upend>432.175</upend> <dnstart>145.975</dnstart> <dnend>145.925</dnend> </transponder> <transponder name="FM/packet example" type="FM"> <upstart>145.850</upstart> <dnstart>436.800</dnstart> </transponder> <beacon name="Mode A beacon" freq=29.502 type="CW" /> <beacon name="Mode B beacon" freq=145.9775 type="CW" /> <kep1>1 07530U 74089B 09100.65238050 -.00000027 00000-0 10000-3 0 4485</kep1> <kep2>2 07530 101.4327 127.7953 0012098 041.9469 318.2525 12.53575514574259</kep2> </sat>
You could, of course, include some additional "human-readable" info that the parser would simply ignore.

Joe, I would be very interested in a script that consumed this RSS feed and updated the predict.db file. Maybe even a patch to predict that made this a built in feature?

Josh,
Cool. Let's see what type of feedback we get on this.
I'm not familiar with the predict.db file. Where does it originate and what system uses it? Send me a sample copy and I should be able to hack this together reasonably quickly, once the RSS tags are well defined.
For the time being, you're welcome to browse through my scraping script. This is what I wrote to pull the status data off the amsat website and push it out to a txt file. It's fairly rough code but it works :-)

Kent, I think this is an excellent idea. Perhaps something to generate an ical file for sat modes on the birds that change modes often (think AO-51). I would also be interested in helping with the development of this system.

Joe, Maybe I'm just a little slow because I haven't had any caffeine on this post holiday monday morning, but I don't seem to see your scraping script linked to anywhere. If you shoot me a link or attach the source I'll take a look. Predict.DB is a file that the predict software uses to display some additional information about the satellite you are tracking (its uplink/downlink/mode etc). There is a sample one provided with predict if you grab the predict source.
Thanks, Josh Smith KD8HRX
