ESTCube-1 has started downloading a new image that it has taken with the onboard camera. I’m going to try once again to decode the image data. One of the problems I face, is a strong local generated carrier on 437.495 that makes it impossible for me to decode all the data during a pass.

There is a new decoder version that is also able to generate the image. Take a look at the software page from Mike DK3WN. (estcube_fm.zip)
