ISS SSTV in late December

Posted: 15 Dec 2021 08:29 AM PST https://amsat-uk.org/2021/12/15/iss-sstv-in-late-december/


The ARISS team will be supporting Slow Scan TV (SSTV) operations from the International Space Station during the period of December 26-31.

The images will be related to lunar exploration. The transmissions should
be available worldwide on 145.800 MHz FM. The planned SSTV mode is PD 120.

Planned start and stop times are currently listed as:

Start Dec 26 about 18:25 GMT

Stop Dec 31 about 17:05 GMT

The signal should be receivable even on a handheld with a 1/4 wave whip. If your rig has selectable FM filters try the wider filter for 25 kHz channel spacing.

Check the ARISS SSTV blog for the latest information http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/

The signal from the ISS should be receivable outdoors on a handheld with a
1/4 wave whip although tracking the ISS with a small handheld beam will
give better results. If your rig has selectable FM filters try the wider
filter for 25 kHz channel spacing.
