Title : Solar Sail Satellite Lightsail-2 Now Transmitting Morse
Code Beacon

Content : Lightsail-2 is a solar sail experiment which
successfully launched on a Space-X Falcon Heavy on 25 June, and was
released into orbit on July 2nd. A solar sail is a type of spacecraft
that uses a large metallic foil to create propulsion via photons
from the sun hitting it. Lightsail-2 is still undergoing testing,
so it has not yet deployed it's solar sail, but recent updates
indicate that it is healthy.

Title : SignalsEverywhere: Investigating USGS Gaging Stations and
their GOES Satellite Connection

Content : The United States Geological Service maintains over 8500
"Gaging stations" in bodies of water all over the country. Gaging
stations are devices that are used to measure environmental data
such as groundwater levels, discharge, water chemistry, and water
temperature. What's interesting is that they all upload their data
in real time to GOES satellites - the same satellites that we can use
with an RTL-SDR to receive weather images of the entire earth. The
data is then downlinked in the L-band to the USGS scientists via
a protocol known as DCP (Data Collection Platform).

Title : Tracking Company Jets with ADS-B to Give an Edge to Hedge
Fund Investors

Content : Financial news site Bloomberg recently ran an article
about how hedge fund managers are using ADS-B to track private
company aircraft in order to help predict the next megadeal between
companies. They explain with an example:

Title : Running a Tesla Model 3 on Autopilot off the Road with
GPS Spoofing

Content : Regulus is a company that deals with sensor security
issues. In one of their latest experiments they've performed GPS
spoofing with several SDRs to show how easy it is to divert a Tesla
Model 3 driving on autopilot away from it's intended path . Autopilot
is Tesla's semi-autonomous driving feature, which allows the car
to decide it's own turns and lane changes using information from
the car's cameras, Google Maps and it's Global Navigation Satellite
System (GNSS) sensors. Previously drivers had to confirm upcoming
lane changes manually, but a recent update allows this confirmation
to be waived.

Title : Medtronic Minimed Insulin Pumps Recalled due to Wireless
Security Vulnerabilities

Content : A MiniMed Insulin Pump

Title : Rdio Scanner: A Web Based UI for Trunk Recorder

Content : Trunk Recorder is an RTL-SDR compatible open source
Linux app that records calls from Trunked P25 and SmartNet digital
voice radio systems which are commonly used by Police and other
emergency services in the USA. It can be used to set up a system
that allows you to listen to previous calls at your leisure,
however it does not have any UI for easy browsing.

Title : Meteor M2 is Currently Experiencing Orientation Issues

Content : Russian weather satellite Meteor M2 is a popular
reception target for RTL-SDR radio enthusiasts, as it allows you
to receive high resolution images of the Earth. However, currently
it appears to be exhibiting orientation issues, causing off center
and skewed images and sometimes poor/no reception. Russian blog
" aboutspacejornal ", writes that the orientation of the satellite
can sometimes be restored presumably by a reset command from Earth,
but shortly after goes back into uncontrolled rotation.

Title : Hak5: Hacking Ford Key Fobs with a HackRF and Portapack

Content : This weeks episode of Hak5 (an information security themed
YouTube channel) features Dale Wooden ( @TB69RR ) who joins hosts
Shannon and Darren to demonstrate a zero day vulnerability against
Ford keyless entry/ignition. More details about the vulnerability
will be presented at this years DEF CON 27 conference, which is
due to be held on August 8 - 11.
