Paul Sladen 2E0PHS <9m-mro@paul.sladen.org> - 27 May 2014 Tool to recover a usable CSV logfile from the redacted AES records published by Inmarsat and the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation on 27 May 2014 relating to the disappearance of 9M-MRO. This programme is hereby placed in the public domain, and may be distributed and modified without limit, for any purpose. ./pdf-to-csv.py > inmarsat-su-log-redacted.csv It calls out to 'pdftotext' which is in the 'poppler-utils' package in Debian/Ubuntu. The program was developed under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This is written as a script (instead of manual conversion) so that it can be repeatedly run in a deterministic manner: meaning that the results can be peer-reviewed by the wider academic community. The enclosed .csv file has a sample of the output for reference purposes. There appears to be no clear licence on the original dataset. In addition, a patchset restores additional data transcribed from the CNN videos showing the unredacted SU logs. MH370*Track.py are tools originally written by Sean McLeod for integrating possible direct solution (without mid-sector turns). Historical element sets for 1996-020A are in 'sat23839.txt'.
