Now, 4 DGSN stations receiving APRS from orbit by the @Space_Station! Stations are now in Settrup (a lovely small village in Lower Saxony!), @shackspace in Stuttgart, @ToolboxBodensee near Lake Constance and @eah_satcom in Jena. Where should we put one next? If you have a suggestion, please tell me here >> https://twitter.com/andreashornig/status/897434397925937152
My task is now that I still want to know the content of APRS the @Space_Station sent here! Would anyone please help me decode? :) I uploaded a Python Numpy NPY file here/goo.gl/5zLkwr .. It incuded the Signal Peak you see in the graph above from those 4 stations.
What I know is that APRS uses Bell202 coding with two frequencies of 1200 Hz and of 2200 Hz. Each represent either a 1 or 0. I just started to play with an FFT Kernel of 8K samples and I already found phases of those frequencies but so far I couldn't find the starting flag of the AX.25 frae 01111110.
As far as I know, Bell202 was also used in old internet modems. So I guess that there are people on Hackaday who play around with old modems and solve those problems while sleeping. If so, please comment below.
Until then, I will keep on playing with the 4 stations and trying to decode APRS signals.... :)

The given NPY documents most likely includes the APRS signal from the International Spaceport Station (ISS). To translate it you'll require to carry out an AX.25 decoder to detect the beginning flag (01111110) and after that analyze the Bell202 coding to remove the information. Take into consideration making use of a mix of FFT evaluation and also electronic signal handling methods. Discover appropriate sources on AX.25 translating and also signal handling for more support.
