Great spot by Muetdhiver here then - anyone wondering how the diagram plugs into this then? Is it a clue to back up the scale in the numbers in this P2P broadcast? Or is there something else in it?

So the first number could be a suitability/viability for life compared to Merope 5 C?
There you go. Fractions with M5C's parameters as unit. Brilliant stuff.
Location and/or distance to another body?
Suggest we begin decoding and see if we can triangulate.

We really need a recording of the UP transmission from another system. More data points to work out the message is a quicker route to understanding the content of the transmissions!
UA transmission during livestream now. Hehe.
The braben interview is just a ruse for the goids!

Well, maybe being a bit literal, but if the big hint was that the image is a key.... well...
A map has a key. The key helps you understand the data.
My own take is that there's four data streams that you can intercept when sitting in front of the UP.
The "Image" tells you what each segment of data means, labelled 1, 2, 3, 4. Each bit of symbology describes that piece of data. We can verify what's what with the actual stats in-game when we scan the planet.
It would make sense to me... artefact transmits a representation of ships, UP transmits a representation of planets. But why?
EDIT: Of interest maybe... unexplored planetary bodies have four pieces of information with them.

I'm not in game at the moment, haven't got an UP yet, just used the recording posted on here by another CMDR earlier (over 5 minutes of audio). Apparently it was here: https://eddb.io/body/8403
I'm now confirming this one too, so the list now is:
PLEIADES SECTOR KC-U B3-1 8
PLEIADES SECTOR RO-Q B5-0 7
PLEIADES SECTOR IR-W D1-55 6
System stats:
Also, distances:
Sol - 357.20Ly
Merope - 26.26

We need new recordings from different systems to test out these ideas. Does the UP still send a transmission if it's picked up and taken somewhere else (I don't have one, and not in game to check right now)?
Yes. Follows the same rules as ones got from convoys. Take it to a star/asteroid belt/station, never lights up, no transmission. Take it to a planetary body (moon/planet/gas giant) it'll light up and transmit. Doesn't matter what system (so far)
This video is private.
This! Please can someone with an UP take it to another system and record the transmission? Post it here and we'll decode it and check the numbers to see if any of the theories fit. How exciting!
Yes, an other recording to decode would be very usefull, especially to crack the last part.
Knowing if some part of the last block are invariant or not would be very usefull.

I found the relevant stats - but not density - on eddb. I'm getting some rounding errors still for just about every likely link (although my numbers are probably not authoritative), so I thought maybe distance to Sol is valid - but then when I checked it the ratio is the wrong way round (1.025 done correctly) so I guess something else.
Don't know if it's been brought up - but both planets are tidally locked. Suggest we go hunting for other tidally-locked, ammonia planets.

Science opportunity!!
Load one up - travel - record - travel - repeat.
I feel a Google spreadsheet coming on...
