National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) is a US department that is responsible for an environmental satellite system that sends data from space in order to monitor weather change and extreme weather events. NOAA satellites transmit an Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) analog signal continuously. The APT system uses data streams to transmit a visible image during daylight using channel A and an infra-red image (day and night) on channel B. This project focuses on the algorithm and software implementation to decode and process the APT signal using NI myRIO and LabVIEW.
