Xaxero’s SkyEye™ USB Weather Satellite Receiver is an innovative system for receiving weather images directly from NOAA polar orbiting satellites. This is a complete hardware/software solution (all you need is the computer). The image clarity and software features hitherto were only available from expensive systems costing in excess of thousands of dollars.

The self contained unit includes an antenna with integrated receiver and GPS which plugs into a computer's USB port.  SkyEye receives live pictures direct from Low Earth Orbiting satellites several times a day.  These images are free and not available on the internet.

• You can see cloud features, ocean surface temperature differences, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, etc. with integrated ocean depth and land elevation display.

  The integrated mapping feature quickly locates the geographic positions of all the features on the photo.

  

  Mariners can see severe weather patterns several days away and take evasive action to protect themselves and their property.
