How to receive ARISSat-1

Following the successful tests last weekend, the latest Amateur Radio satellite ARISSat-1 will be deployed from the ISS today, August 3, during a space walk that commences at 14:00 GMT.

AMSAT-NA have created a special page with information on how to receive the satellite.

ARISSat-1 can transmit Slow Scan TV pictures from its 4 onboard cameras and it is hoped a picture of the actual deployment wil be transmitted. The SSTV FM signal should be receivable using simple equipment such as a 2m FM handheld with a quater wave whip. ARISSat-1 also has CW and BPSK beacons and a cross band 435/145 MHz linear transponder for SSB/CW working.
