Well, there it goes. Today, the 19th of August 2025, NOAA-15 was decommissioned over svalbard. I didn't manage to get the final APT, but this time meti from the satdump discord (and some others) did, and is the picture attached to this post.
Here is a link to their archive website licensed CC-BY-SA-4.0 received by meti.
Earlier, (the svalbard pass before?) the AVHRR patch cooling was disabled, making the IR channels unusable and white on the APT.
With NOAA-18 and NOAA-19 having been decommissioned earlier, as I have made posts about. This is the end of 137MHz APT, but meteor LRPT is still active, and is planned to continue for many years.
Although old, I found APT fun to receive, with it's rhythmic clicking, and analogue images. If anyone is even in this community maybe post your best APT receptions in the comments.
It's also completely unnecessary, NOAA-19 was fine until they did "End Of Life testing", with NOAA-18 the failed RX could have been an issue, but NOAA-15 was mostly fine other than the Scan motor getting stuck (and always fixing itself). It's now very likely all 3 will explode due to a battery failure that happened on NOAA-16 and NOAA-17. because of the shut down.
So not only is this a waste of good weather satellite that provide a useful service (APT is actually used in remote location), it's also dangerous to satellites due to the space debris that will be created.
