ISS SSTV image 2 received by Mike Rupprecht DK3WN April 12, 2016 at 1556 UT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of ARISS, a Slow Scan Television<\/a> (SSTV) event is planned for Thursday, July 20 starting around 21:25 UT. The event plans to feature images from ARISS activities both past and present. This opportunity should cover most of the world during the operation period.<\/p>\n

The event plans to use a computer on the ISS Russian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth using the ham radio, specifically the onboard Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver. Those receiving the images can post them at https:\/\/ariss-sstv.blogspot.com\/<\/a> for viewing by the public.<\/p>\n

The 20 year history of ARISS will be displayed through a collection of 12 unique images sharing the amazing accomplishments of ARISS over the last two decades. SSTV signals will be sent to earth at 145.800 MHz using FM. The SSTV mode of transmission is expected to be PD 120<\/a> (PD 180 may be a second option). The event is expected to continue over a two day period.<\/p>\n

Since it’s inception, Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has provided students an opportunity, through ham radio, to engage in conversation with orbiting astronauts and inspired many to seek careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Consider how you might inspire students in your area through this chance to capture images directly from space to their computers.<\/p>\n

Please note that the event, and any ARISS event, is dependent on other activities, schedules and crew responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any time.<\/p>\n

While preparations are being finalized please check for new and the most current information on the ARISS website<\/a> or\u00a0 Twitter<\/a>, or Facebook<\/a> or\u00a0 the AMSAT Bulletin Board<\/a> for the latest information on this event.<\/p>\n

\"Amateur<\/a>About ARISS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies and amateur radio. For more information, see<\/p>\n
