I remember being awestruck in about 1992, when our science teacher at school used an antenna and, I think a BBC micro, although it may have been an acorn, to receive images from weather satellites passing overhead. It was a brilliant educational experience.

Edit: looks like it was a BBC Micro, using AMSAT software and an ASTRID receiver. https://amsat-uk.org/2011/12/11/bbc-micro-and-amsat-uk-softw...
