Weather Satellite Signals Received from Ground Station in Niš, Serbia
Original: 🇷🇸Ground Station: Nis, Serbia METEOR-M2 3 19-10-2026 10:13 CEST Max Elev: 74° W Sun Elevation: 29° Gain: 15 | Southbound
An amateur radio ground station in Niš, Serbia, logged a pass of the Russian Meteor-M2 3 weather satellite on 19 October 2026, with a maximum elevation of 74 degrees west. The observation, made with low-cost receiving equipment, is part of a hobbyist community that tracks NOAA and Meteor satellites to capture live weather imagery from orbit.
Why now: Amateur weather-satellite tracking communities regularly share reception logs of notable satellite passes, and this was a high-elevation pass of a Meteor satellite.
