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 that are 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/ . 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.
