Dec 18 SSTV from ISS active

Starting to see reports of activity from ISS on Dec 18 around 14:00 UTC. This image from PY2IV was captured during a pass over Brazil.
Additionally, below is another image from F5ASD in France. Notice the series numbers in the upper right corner of the images. Each image is a celebration of the 80th anniversary of Gagarin's birth. Wonder if anyone will get all 12?

SSTV on Dec 18 and 20

The Russian ARISS team members plan to activate SSTV from the ISS on Dec 18 and 20. Expected mode will be PD180 on 145.800 MHz with 3 minute off periods between transmissions. A total of 12 different photos will be sent during the operational period. Start time  would be around 14:20 UTC on December 18 and 12:40 UTC on December 20. The transmissions should terminate around 21:30 UTC each day. Space-X 5 will be launching the same week and delays in the launch could adjust SSTV operational times.
