SSTV Images from the International Space Station

[@elektroqtus]

Thanks, that was an excellent upload. Very clear and clean. No room echo distortion and perfect test. My decoder app works as good as your computer program.

[@K7AGE]

Thanks, direct radio to pc recording. This makes good practice material before they transmit SSTV. Thanks for using this recording.

[@truthseekers666]

Just succeeded in deciding your audio files. Many thanks.

[@purplemutantas]

Very cool. I will have to try that with my Ed Fong J pole. I live in the Bay Area so I would be picking up the same ISS passes as you. I will have to look up the ISS frequency and see when it's going to pass by.

[@K7AGE]

purplemutantas The pictures are being sent for a bit over 1 day. They end at 21:30 today. At least you will be ready if and when they transmit SSTV again.

[@BronsonTheCat]

Thanks for sharing this. I need to give it a go myself.

[@K7AGE]

***** Check to see if you have any passes. It ends at 21:30 UTC today.

[@joeddejohn]

Cool pictures. Good variety.

[@1fanger]

Hi Randy, nice photo there, at the end. Thanks

[@cmritchie04]

I tried doing the same but with no luck, using a j pole antenna to receive, ft 7800, and stand 1/8 to sound running MMSSTV.

[@K7AGE]

Christopher Ritchie You had the right stuff. Did you hear the ISS?

[@cmritchie04]

no

[@paulvizard6858]

Thanks for sharing. I was surprised to get a couple of images from every North American pass (I'm in Texas). I was concerned that I would only get two low passes today based on my ISS packet experience. - K5PAV

[@kellingc]

The second pass was a great picture. Would be willing to do a series on SSTV like what you did for PSK31? I'm having trouble getting things going on SSTV.

[@K7AGE]

Chris Kelling Maybe in the future.....

[@HAMRADIOJOE4178]

HELLO RANDY, YOU THINK YOU CAN DO A VIDEO ABOUT THE ISS AND HOW TO SET UP A 2 METER HT, LIKE WHAT OFFSET TO USE AND WHAT FREQ TO USE, IM TRYING TO TALK TO THEM AND I JUST CANT GET THIS RIGHT, DIFFERANT WEB SITES SHOW THE ISS IN DIFFERANT PLACES, MAYBE YOU HAVE A WEBSITE FOR US.. I LIKE YOUR VIDS THE BEST, YOU EXPLAIN IT BEST... THANKS, JOE (WX4CAZ)

[@K7AGE]

JOE good idea. This is a good site for ISS info www.issfanclub.com/

[@lining250]

谢谢

[@KandiKlover]

Is there any schedule for this or do I need to have everything running each time it passes?

[@K7AGE]

***** This is by scheduled times only. Watch ARRL, AMSAT and ISS Fan Club for possible future SSTV transmissions. I wish they would operate the SSTV station more often. Best to do is to get your station ready to receive the ISS. Learn when the ISS will be overhead. Packet is on 145.825. You should be able to hear the packet, as it is one most of the time.

[@KandiKlover]

K7AGE great thanks mate

[@kingzeusgameskzg1596]

145.825 is in kHz?

[@blasethedutchie5881]

How in the world do I get images from the ISS? I'm new to SSTV, it's very interesting indeed.

[@K7AGE]

+Ertyleis Sorry, I just saw your comment. It is best to keep a check on the ARRL or AMSAT website for news about upcoming SSTV transmissions.

[@blasethedutchie5881]

Awesome, thanks!

[@nathanpc]

Hey Randy, what was that software that you were able to see the ISS trajectory? 73

[@K7AGE]

Orbitron www.stoff.pl/

[@pepe1]

Nice, but i cant get first image..Low sound, i guess (?). Second and third images work fine.

[@pepe1]

+pepe1 Tested again, it got picture number one now..It is not easy to get fully, i guess.

[@K7AGE]

+pepe1 There was probably some fading of the signal

[@FGsltw2009]

NEAT!!

[@RESlusher]

Teach us, Master Randy! :)

[@K7AGE]

Richard Slusher I was going to make a how to video. Then I found out that there were very limited passes over the US. So, I ditched that idea. Then they extended the time by 24 hours. But then it was too late for me to make the video. I will get something together.

[@RESlusher]

Great! On behalf of all your young (and some of us not-so-young) Padawans, we appreciate your hard work! :)

[@pshl987]

wish frequencies ?
