How to talk to a 36-year-old space probe with GNU Radio, a USRP and a big dish
Oh cool! They presented this at Dorkbot-SF a couple of weeks ago. A bit I particularly liked was that, because of the relative speed of the probe, a couple of km/sec, the frequencies sent and received had to be separately adjusted. And also, Arecibo was broadcasting with enough power to <i>boil birds that flew over it.</i><p>It's <i>cool space shit,</i> is what I'm saying.<p>Edit: here's some video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTljlMH-0oM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTljlMH-0oM</a>
