It is the first polar-orbit human spaceflight mission to explore Earth.<\/p>\n<p>Rabea will be transmitting amateur radio Robot 36 Slow Scan TV (SSTV) images on 437.550 MHz (+\/- 10 kHz Doppler shift) during the mission.<\/p>\n<p>ARISS will provide special commemorative certificates for those who upload their Fram2 SSTV images to the <strong>ARISS SSTV Gallery<\/strong>. Certificates will be delivered after the completion of the Fram2 mission.<\/p>\n<p>There are several challenges in receiving the images,\u00a0 the low transmit power, variations of antenna orientation, and a short, 3-day mission duration, with only a limited time assigned for the SSTV operation.
