Nov 2024 SSTV

 With the new hardware and software installed and tested, here comes another SSTV event.

ARISS Slow Scan Television (SSTV) transmissions from the International Space Station are planned to start Monday, November 11 about 11:50 UTC and to end Monday, November 18 about 13:40 UTC. There will be some interruptions on Friday and Saturday to allow for the crew to conduct some school contacts. Downlink frequency will be 145.800 MHz FM. Images will be transmitted in SSTV mode PD-120.

The transmissions will consist of 12 imagers featuring activities from the 40th Anniversary celebrating amateur radio in human spaceflight. 

Note that there is a new SSTV gallery site being used for this event at  https://ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/ .
