RUSSIAN SSTV TRANSMISSION EVENT PLANNED
April 8, 2019:
ARISS Russia is planning Slow Scan Television (SSTV) image
transmissions from the International Space Station.
The transmissions begin Thursday, April 11, 2019 around 18:00 UTC and run
continuously until approximately 18:00 UTC on Sunday, April 14, 2019.
This event uses a computer in the ISS Russian Segment, which stores images
thatare then transmitted to Earth using the ARISS amateur radio station
located in the Service Module which employs the Kenwood TM D710E transceiver.
Once these images are received by ham radio operators and
other radio enthusiasts on Earth, many participants will post them for
viewing at http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php.
In addition, you can receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting
your image.
Once the event begins, see details at
https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/ [2] . The transmissions will be
broadcast at 145.800 MHz using the PD-120 SSTV mode.
Please note that the event is dependent on other activities, schedules
and crew responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any
time.
