The "magick satellite network ov data" that's always on?  Yeah, it
smells a little funny to me.  Satellite time isn't cheap.  HP printer
ink is way cheaper.  On the other hand, I found these from the same
project:

https://outernet-project.github.io/orx-install/

https://github.com/Outernet-Project/orx-install

They specifically talk about using some of the sub-$20us software
defined receivers (like the RTLSDR) to pick up the data to store
locally.  They have quite a few public repositories that might be
worth picking through, for that matter:

https://github.com/Outernet-Project

I don't have a whole lot of time to go hunting right now, but what
little I've done suggests that the source for odda (OuterNet Data
Delivery Agent, which takes the data stream from the sat downlink and
writes it as files appropriately) isn't available, or at least not
yet.  For setting up a data archive like that (which is an interest of
mine), I can't, in good conscience, trust a daemon the source of which
I can't examine.  Too much at risk for my use cases.

Doesn't look like it.
