ARISS Russia is planning a special Slow Scan Television (SSTV) event April 11-14 from the International Space Station in celebration of Cosmonautics Day.<\/p>\n

The transmissions are to begin on April 11 at 11:30 UT and run through April 14 ending at 18:20 UT.<\/p>\n

Supporting this event is a computer on the ISS Russian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth using amateur radio, specifically the onboard Kenwood TM-D710E transceiver.<\/p>\n

Transmitted images will be from the Interkosmos project period of the Soviet space program https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Interkosmos<\/a><\/p>\n

The transmissions which were coordinated with the ARISS scheduling team, will be made on 145.800 MHz FM using the PD-120 SSTV mode.<\/p>\n

Note the ISS transmissions use the 5 kHz deviation FM standard rather than the narrow 2.5 kHz used in Europe. If your transceiver has selectable FM filters try using the wider filter. Handheld transceivers generally have a single wide filter fitted as standard and you should get good results outdoors using just a 1\/4 wave whip antenna.<\/p>\n
