GOMX-3 is a CubeSat with several payloads. One of them is a software defined radio configured to read ADS-B signals sent by commercial aircraft. The idea is that a satellite can monitor aircraft over oceans and other places where there no RADAR coverage. ADB-S transmits the aircraft’s ID, its position, altitude, and intent.

The problem is that ADS-B has a short-range (about 80 nautical miles). GOMX-1 proved that the signals can be captured from orbit. GOMX-3 has more capability. The satellite has a helical antenna and an FPGA.

The people behind the satellite, GomSpace, has a complete parser for the ADS-B data beacons and [destevez] has it rolled into a GNU Radio module. There’s a good representation of captured data on a map in [destevez’s] blog post. If you want something less interactive, you can see a static map of all collected data. If you want to try your hand at picking up GOMX-3, you can hear it transmitting in the video below.

We’ve talked a lot about CubeSats in the past and ADS-B monitoring (the link is broken, but the video still works). If you want a GNU Radio primer, we’ve done that, too.

Geoff Keighly has confirmed via Twitter that this year’s Game Awards is set to air on December 1st. This marks the third annual showing for the event formerly known as the VGAs and VGX. Further details will be revealed over the summer. Keighly tweeted a look at the banner now hanging at this year’s E3 2016 show.

Banners starting to go up at @E3 so I can confirm @thegameawards return December 1st. More details this summer. http://pic.twitter.com/Zob8Vv0rFP

— Geoff Keighley (@geoffkeighley) June 10, 2016

The Game Awards has certainly had its ups and downs over the years, but there’s no denying it has grown as an awards show in terms of size and spectacle. Last year’s show had several noteworthy moments including Splatoon winning out Best Multiplayer Game over the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 and Star Wars Battlefront, Konami getting called out for not allowing Hideo Kojima to accept his reward, and a short tribute of the late Satoru Iwata by NOA president Reggie Fils-Amié.

 Remember MCNs? Those quaint multi-channel networks — aggregators of YouTube channels — that generally focused on a specific vertical audience? In the past year or so, something curious happened — companies shied away from the “MCN” moniker. Some did so violently, contending they were never MCNs in the first place. Here the five reasons this happened. Read More

UEFA EURO 2016 kicked off Friday with host France’s 2-1 win over Romania, and Twitter and Facebook have soccer fans covered through the tournament’s final July 10.

Barthelemy Collin, who works on sports partnerships for Twitter, highlighted that social network’s #EURO2016 efforts in a blog post, and they include special emojis, letting soccer fans on Twitter determine the color of the Eiffel Tower’s lights each night, users submitting questions for each game’s Man of the Match, exclusive insider content and a dedicated Vine channel.

Collin said any tweet featuring the #EURO2016 hashtag will automatically contain an emoji of the EURO 2016 trophy, and fans can express support for their countries, as well, adding:

Fans will also be able to tweet their support for their country with a special national flag emoji. For example, simply include #ENG or #TogetherForEngland, and your tweet will be brought to life with the inclusion of a football containing the St. George’s Cross. This exciting feature will be available for all competing nations (e.g., For Spain, #ESP or #VamosEspaña).

REVEALED: The official #EURO2016 emojis for every competing nation! http://pic.twitter.com/OAqHjVugc6

— UEFA EURO 2016 (@UEFAEURO) June 8, 2016

Twitter is also taking over host country France’s best-known landmark, the Eiffel Tower.

Collin said that 10 minutes after the final whistle of each day’s last game, the Eiffel Tower will be illuminated with the colors of the nation that received the most Twitter support that day, and some of the day’s best EURO 2016-related tweets will be projected onto the tower.

Also, official tournament accounts @UEFAEURO and @EURO2016 will solicit questions from followers for the Man of the Match following key matches, and these can be submitted using the hashtag #AskMOTM.

Finally, Collin detailed Twitter’s efforts to bring Europe’s top creative talent to France for the tournament:

Video has become an integral part of how people communicate on Twitter, Vine and Periscope. Between 10 and 20 top creative talents across Europe are headed out to #EURO2016 to create exclusive, insider content.

It will be a huge range in terms of the type of thing you can expect to see over the course of the tournament, including:

The man behind the “Will Grigg’s on fire” sensation, Sean Kennedy (@KennoUTJ), will be tweeting and Periscoping from the fan zones as he gets #ENG fans in the mood with his chants. He might even be making an appearance at England vs Russia.

Joe Charman is renowned for his comic trick compilations on Vine, which have made him a viral sensation. He will be creating a series of trick shots in six seconds from in and around the fan zones to keep fans entertained:

Michelin-starred French chef Pierre Gagnaire (@PierreGagnaire) will be getting into the spirit of the event by creating special videos where he cooks up new recipes based on the national cuisine of teams involved on a given match day.

@SpencerOwen (aka Spencer FC) is one of the leading voices in the growing culture of eSports. He unique approach has gained him an enormous social following, and he will be hosting Periscope broadcasts pregame and postgame to capture the match-day atmosphere.

These tweets and Vines will be displayed on giant screens in France, including at all 10 host stadiums.

As for Facebook, the social network said in an email to SocialTimes that 84 million users were responsible for 221 million interactions related to EURO 2016 from May 1 through June 7, and the five teams that generated the most conversation were:

1. France
2. England
3. Russia
4. Germany
5. Italy

And the five most-talked-about players during that same time period were:

1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. Sergio Ramos
3. Nani
4. Gareth Bale
5. Pepe

The top 11 players in terms of likes as of June 8 were:

1. Cristiano Ronaldo, 112 million
2. Mesut Özil, 30 million
3. Gareth Bale, 26 million
4. Andrés Iniesta, 26 million
5. Iker Casillas, 25 million

8. Sergio Ramos, 20.8 million
9. Gerard Piqué, 18.8 million
