🚀 Signal Hunters: Discover the Hidden Language of Space
Welcome to Signal Hunters, where students become cosmic detectives—tracking down invisible radio signals from satellites, space weather patterns, and even the edge of our planet’s atmosphere.
In this hands-on module, learners will dive into the fascinating world of radio frequency (RF) and software-defined radio (SDR) technology. Using real satellite data and beginner-friendly SDR receivers, students will decode the silent transmissions flying over their heads every day.
Through interactive lessons, experiments, and missions, students will:
📡 Learn how radio waves carry data across space, and how satellites use these signals for weather forecasting, navigation, and communication.
🔎 Use SDR tools to capture live satellite signals, including NOAA weather imagery and Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) from passing spacecraft.
🧠 Understand key concepts like frequency, wavelength, signal-to-noise ratio, and modulation—all taught through engaging, real-world applications.
🛰️ Analyze real satellite images and telemetry data, unlocking the stories hidden in the signals.
By the end of this unit, students won’t just understand radio—they’ll hear and see the universe in a whole new way.
