ISS to Transmit SSTV Images
« on: August 02, 2021, 11:50:25 AM »

From the ARRL:

Friday and Saturday, August 6 - 7, Russian cosmonauts onboard the
International Space Station (ISS) will transmit slow-scan television
(SSTV) images from the station on 145.800 MHz FM. They will use SSTV
mode PD-120. The transmissions are part of the Moscow Aviation
Institute SSTV experiment (MAI-75) and will be sent via RS0ISS, the
ham station in the Russian Zvezda (Service) module using a Kenwood
TM-D710 transceiver.

The announced schedule is August 6, 1050 - 1910 UTC and August 7,
0950 - 1555 UTC. Dates and times are subject to change. For stations
in the ISS footprint, the RS0ISS signal should be easy to copy on a
handheld transceiver and a quarter-wave whip. Use 25-kHz channel
spacing, if available. Free ISS software is available to download.

Pass predictions are available from AMSAT via,
https://www.amsat.org/track/. Representative images from prior ISS
SSTV events are available in the ARISS SSTV Gallery at,

Thanks for that info Glenn.
I managed to get 2 decent pictures from their passes over eastern CT, but then accidently deleted the pictue files while I was cleaning up the history directory.
Oh well, it was fun.
