Verification test - Oct 27-Nov 1

   The SSTV system in the Service Module will again attempt to verify a replacement piece of hardware during the period of Oct 27 until Nov 01. The system will be off around the required period of no transmissions during the planned EVA on Oct 31. Images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz and in the typical PD120 format. Images can be posted to the Gallery.

Since this is a test of replacement components of the system, there still may be unexpected outages or issues.

Verification test Oct 3-5

  The SSTV system in the Service Module which has been down due to a component failure will be activated from Oct 3-5 to verify a replacement piece of hardware. Images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz and in the typical PD120 format. Images can be posted to the Gallery.

Since this is a test of replacement components of the system, there may be unexpected outages or issues.


UPDATE - Oct. 4.

Seems there were some odd behavior by the radio so the test has been suspended to try and better understand the issue. Looks like they will have to try again a bit later in the month.
