Re-post from ANS-208:
The long-anticipated reinstallation of HamTV is scheduled to take place on the ISS on Tuesday, July 29. Work on the system will occur between 3:55 AM EDT and 5:55 AM EDT (07:55 UTC to 09:55 UTC), and successful completion could lead to test transmissions beginning the same day. HamTV is a digital amateur television system developed for educational outreach, allowing students to see live video from space during school contacts with the ISS.

The system transmits MPEG-2 video using the DVB-S protocol, with a downlink frequency of 2395 MHz (2.395 GHz), and relies on modest ground station equipment for reception. Originally launched in 2014, HamTV is housed in the Columbus module but has been offline since 2018 pending equipment refurbishment and crew time for reinstallation.

More information is available on the BATC Wiki at wiki.batc.org.uk/HAMTV_from_the_ISS and in the ARISS discussion channel on Discord at discord.gg/JrmXw58U8T.

HamTV system back on ISS

Repost from ANS-084

With the spectacular launch of SpaceX-30 on March 21, 2024, the HamTV system is now back on it’s on its way to the ISS. Although it is not expected that the HamTV equipment will be activated for at least a few weeks, the British Amateur Television Club (BAT) has created a new wiki page which gives a lot of information on how to receive, decode and display the DATV signals from the ISS. See:
https://wiki.batc.org.uk/HAMTV_from_the_ISS
There is also a discussion channel available on the site.
