4 ## Intro to Automatic Picture Transmission
5 Automatic picture transmission (APT) is an analog image transmission format
6 developed for use on weather satellites in the 1960s. While only three
7 modern satellites, NOAA 15, NOAA 18, and NOAA 19, transmit on the APT
8 protocol, building a reception station is cheap and simple. The images can
9 be quite high qualitythey natively have a resolution of
10 4 km/px. It is reasonable to expect at least one good-quality satellite
11 pass (and, thereby, opportunity for image downlink) per day.
