SSTV EVENT

"Expedition 70 - ARISS 40th Session 1" mission. "

From December 16, 2023 to December 19, 2023, images will be transmitted from the International Space Station using the SSTV protocol. The topic of the program is 40 years of the first amateur radio communication with a person in space (In 1983, astronaut Owen Garriott (W5LFL) made the first amateur radio communication with the Earth on 144 MHz). SSTV images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver. It is expected that the PD-120 SSTV format will be used.

Schedule:

Start of transmission: December 16, 2023 at 10:15 UTC.

End of transmission: December 19, 2023 at 18:00 UTC

"ISS test 2023-10-27" mission.

The SSTV system in the Service Module will again attempt to verify a replacement piece of hardware during the period of Oct 27 until Nov 01. The system will be off around the required period of no transmissions during the planned EVA on Oct 31. Images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz and in the typical PD120 format. Images can be posted to the Gallery.

Since this is a test of replacement components of the system, there still may be unexpected outages or issues.
