Det kommer ännu mera SSTV-sändningar från ISS på 145.800 MHz FM den 30 och 31 juli 2018. Läs mer:

ARISS Russia is planning another of their popular MAI Slow Scan Television (SSTV) experiment events. Transmissions are scheduled to begin at 16:00 UTC on July 30, then powered down at 19:30 UTC. The next day (July 31), the system will be active from 13:25-19:15 UTC. Downlink should be on the traditional 145.80 MHz frequency and the operating mode will likely be PD120.

When this event becomes active, SSTV images are downlinked from the International Space Station (ISS) at the frequency of 145.80 MHz and can be received using ham radio equipment as simple as a 2 meter handheld radio or a common scanner receiver the covers the 2 meter ham band. After connecting the audio output of the radio receiver into the audio input of a computer running free software such as MMSSTV, the SSTV images can be displayed.

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.

About ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.

SSTV-sändningarna från ISS fortsätter ett tag till på 145.800 MHz. De kör mycket effekt och det går att lyssna på en handapparat.

SSTV transmissions from the Russian Service module on the
International Space Station started June 29 on 145.800 MHz FM and
they are still continuing

There may well be further transmissions up until July 13 when the
equipment being used for the SSTV will be required for a school
contact.

David Boult G7HCE in Exeter noted that some adjustments have been
made by the cosmonauts and the images are now being sent uncropped.
For the first week the edges of the pictures were missing.

The images commemorate the various satellites that were hand-
deployed from the ISS. These will include the first satellite
deployment from ISS: Suitsat-1/Radioskaf-1 which was developed by
ARISS and deployed in February 2006.

The transmissions are being made on 145.800 MHz FM using the PD-120
SSTV mode.

Note the ISS transmissions use the 5 kHz deviation FM standard
rather than the narrow 2.5 kHz used in Europe. If your transceiver
has selectable FM filters try using the wider filter. Handheld
transceivers generally have a single wide filter fitted as standard
and you should get good results outdoors using just a 1/4 wave whip
antenna.
