MAI-75 SSTV June 9 and 10

MAI-75 will be conducting their experiment of transmitting SSTV images over specific orbits that overfly Moscow on June 9 and 10. Amateurs along the ground track of these orbits should have the opportunity to receive these images as well. Modes and targeted transmission periods are listed below.

SSTV images will be transmitted at 145.800 MHz using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver. They are expected to use the PD-120 SSTV format .

Schedule:

  • June 09, 2021 (Wednesday) - from ~ 09:35 UTC until 13:45 UTC (time may change).
  • June 10, 2021 (Thursday) - from ~ 08:55 UTC  until 14:25 UTC (times may change).
Thanks to R4UAB for the initial info.

****Update - June 1, 2021
Times on June 10 have been extended due to some other scheduling requirements. Looks like N. America will get one more pass now.
June 9 - 09:35 - 13:50 UTC 
June 10 - 08:55 - 15:50 UTC.
