Listening To Jupiter´s signal using Radio Telescope Recorder

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and the fifth planet from the sun. In 1955, the Jupiter´s signal had been noticed by radio lasers near Jupiter´s magnetic poles. Since that, the Jupiter´s activities had been studied and observed by the astronomer until now. The frequencies of Jupiter´s most intense radio emissions extend from around 50 kHz up to 40 MHz. However, the observers usually listened on 20.1 Mhz because it is well above the ionospheres cut-off frequency and it is not where man made transmission frequencies would interfere. These emissions usually received with an amateur radio telescope. The Malaysia Space Agency had proposed the Radio Jupiter project to explore more about Jupiter´s activities such as noise storms, flares, geomagnetic activity prediction and other scientific activities. The Radio Jupiter consist of three main components; antenna, receiver and amplifier, and recorder. This paper describes an overview of Radio Jupiter Project design and focus on designing a recorder which is a pc based software that uses as a little external hardware to record the Jupiter´s signal. Finally, the data output from the system is presented and discussed.
