I haven't gotten one of these broken ones yet. Sadly I already missed all NOAA-15 passes for this morning. Maybe I could try at evening.

It's interesting to see how differently the onboard computer is making the APT compared to the raw data

There was also a HIRS malfunction on NOAA 18 a while back, these NOAA sats seem quite good at fixing themselves
