How to get pictures from the International Space Station via amateur radio

Did you know that astronauts on the International Space Station send pictures from space to ground over amateur radio that you yourself can get at home using your computer? Let us show you how to get them, step by step.

Who needs „studio quality“, its the content that matters.

[@devikwolf]

Thank you for all of the continuing hard work from ESA, NASA, JAXA, and all of the other agencies the world-over to help inspire a love of space and science and technology in everyone! Love seeing this sort of public engagement! -- An American radio and space enthusiast

[@re876es]

This is amazing.

[@Kingofgibraltar]

Very interesting, Keep up the hard work guys! :) Paul, Worthing, UK.

the FIRST minute...and I was hooked!!! What a super vid! Thanks

Wow! This is a really great video!😍

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Glad you think so!

Nice I was just able to get a picture! I already new about the HAM on the ISS but I never new that it was utilized in such an interesting way!

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Thank you for watching and participating in this experience!

Thanks for this video !!!! Very interesting 🔥🤩🤩

So nice of you

La scienza va avanti, fa passi da giganti.🥰👏Il mio primo ricordo dei radio amatori: sono stati di grande, grande aiuto durante il terremoto in Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy) dle 06 maggio 1976. Buon lavoro .👏👏

[@RGC198]

Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Luckyamor]

ESA needs its own space station. Go ahead ESA ❤️

[@clowen00]

No one's arguing about that, but ESA can't decide to do so (and wouldn't be able to, monetarily) - only the financial bodies aka the member countries decide on what projects ESA invests in.

[@Exatomos]

Thanks a lot for this video !

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FabianMueller]

Amazing content! Please share more videos like this one!

[@mariadaluzmoutinho5701]

Incrível ESA ...um vídeo muito alegre, explicativo, e educacional!! Com o radio amador ficamos a sabet qual o som do espaço ao redor da Terra? Como as ondas do oras reagem no espaço? Adorei a parte da simbiose da Terra com a Estação espacial e o efeito Doppler na comunicação!! Que vídeo mais interessante!!!

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Glad you like them!

[@brianjester123]

Would love to see a demo where the amateur is tracking the ISS with an app like ISS Detector and a portable Yagi, an HT (Handheld Tranceiver) and using an app like CQ SSTV to show the image in real time! 73 de KB8UIP

[@davidhoness6658]

The tutorial videos are similar to that but instead of the handheld transceiver the audio comes from a web SDR page. It's still being done in real time but is more easily accessible for people because you only need a computer or smartphone.

[@technotux7835]

at what specific frequency does the station is transmitting the image?

[@sondrayork6317]

I use websdr for receiving the hf bands. I also do SWLing as well. So I know what WebSDR is.

[@vatsk]

Happy that esa is still dorky

[@davidhoness6658]

Err, thanks - I guess?

[@getahunberhanu2143]

how can i download such data from internet for analysis

[@hamstermo]

What's the frequency I need to tune to?

[@davidhoness6658]

145.8 Mhz, or 145800 in kHz on the Web SDR page

[@Breazyy1]

ESA, I want to become an astronaut. If I get low grades during GCSE times but I improve my grades and do magnicifantly well in college and university, can I still become an astronaut? Because GCSEs don't really matter right? Also, I live in the UK. When will applications be open? (just curious) Also, will you be going to the moon in the year 2024+?

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

There is no simple route, or straightforward list of qualifications - there are no schools or university courses for astronauts, or specific jobs that you should do. Yet you should aim to be the best at whatever you do, and it helps of that is in a scientific or technical discipline. The more skills and experience you have, the better. You should also be physically fit, with an affinity for teamwork and adaptability, fluent in English but good in other languages, possibly with knowledge of Russian.

[@Breazyy1]

@@EuropeanSpaceAgency Omg, thanks for replying. Thank you! One more question, I don't need to join the military to become an astronaut right? Like do I need to be a soldier to become an astronaut?

[@dhanushsalunke4967]

[@davidhoness6658]

@@Breazyy1 There are lots of science routes these days. I reckon that the first crew sent to Mars will be a couple of military people and then a bunch of scientists. Probably experts in planetary geology.

Where can we see when the SSTV transmitter is active on the ISS?

[@davidhoness6658]

You can check here ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/ (it's mentioned in the tutorial videos)

[@CarstenBe]

@@davidhoness6658 Thanks. Yeah didn't know if they would show upcoming events but they just posted one for Aug 4 and 5

[@RomanLeBg]

I don't understand why there is a doppler effect, isn't the speed of a radio the speed of the light ? So its like negligible

[@ronsn8071]

No, it's not negligible. The Doppler effect (a purely kinematic effect) occurs in ALL signals that propagate at a certain speed, usually the speed of light or the speed of sound. (But if the signal propagates in a medium, such as sound in air, the state of motion of the medium must also be considered if that confuses you.) 🙂

[@davidhoness6658]

If you think about individual waves being sent from the ISS; you send one wave and then there is a small amount of time before the next wave is sent - during which the ISS moves quite some distance - so the next wave begins its journey from a different point in space. If you look at this gif from wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect#/media/File:Dopplereffectsourcemovingrightatmach0.7.gif - imagine you're on zero for the y axis and 10 for the x axis - that would be the ISS coming towards you, and -10 on the x axis for the ISS flying away from you. You can see how the waves bunch up or become more spaced out.

[@1337flite]

6:37 it's a bit misleading having an aircraft with a contrail in the frame at the same time your telling people about the ISS passing from horizon to horizon. Many people will think the aircraft is the ISS and that the ISS emits or creates a trail of something visible as visible light.

[@davidhoness6658]

This is a long exposure of a visible pass of the ISS taken over several minutes.

[@aut_zero_0120]

How are Astronauts Posting on Twitter then?

[@davidhoness6658]

There have a Ku/Ka band IP link that lets them remote desktop onto a PC on ground which IS on the Internet. So no actual Internet traffic is ever going up and down to the ISS, just the desktop graphics of the ground PC they are controlling.
