ARLS005 RS0ISS Will Transmit Slow-Scan TV Images from the ISS on
June 9-10
Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station (ISS) plan to
transmit slow-scan TV (SSTV) images on 145.800 MHz FM June 9 and 10.
The transmissions, which will use SSTV mode PD120, are part of the
Moscow Aviation Institute SSTV experiment (MAI-75) and will be made
from RS0ISS in the Russian Service Module of the ISS using a Kenwood
TM-D710 transceiver.
The tentative schedule calls for transmissions on June 9 from 0935
UTC until 1350 UTC and on June 10 from 0855 UTC until 1550 UTC.
Dates and times are subject to change. Hams on Earth should be able
to receive the signals on a handheld transceiver using a
quarter-wave whip antenna, with FM filters set for 25 kHz channel
spacing.
Predicted ISS pass times are available via the AMSAT website at,
https://www.amsat.org/track/ .
Additional information is available on the Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station (ARISS) SSTV blog at,
https://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/, and tips for SSTV beginners are
available on the AMSAT-UK website at,
