The mysterious Chinese payload [46395, 2020-063G] deployed by their suspected spaceplane just passed over me. I tracked with the dish and was rewarded with a huge signal. Evidence in data it may be tumbling. IQ recording made and heading your way @ea4gpz @R4UAB
Here's the Doppler analysis of the full pass IQ data. Very unusual modulation for a Chinese satellite.
With all this data bandwidth I wonder if this is the 21st century version of 'The East is Red' in digital format?
Here's a video of the first part of the pass of the Chinese spaceplane Mini-Me downlink. Audio was produced with AM demodulator centred on passband of data. There's the odd glitch from the payback and record process, these are not from the satellite. Fades are real.
