ISS HamTV success

On Saturday, March 8 test transmissions were made on 2422.0 MHz using the
HamTV equipment on the International Space Station (ISS)

The video was successfully received and was web streamed to a global
audience via the Britsh Amateur Television Club (BATC) server at

There were four live web streams each from different receivers.

The HamTV transmitter is the culmination of over ten years work by
dedicated volunteers to establish an amateur radio TV transmitter on the
ISS. It uses patch antennas fixed on the Meteorite Debris Panels (MDP)
protecting the hull of the ISS Columbus module. These antennas were
installed while the Columbus module was being constructed.
A fund-raising campaign took place during 2005-7 to raise over 65,000 Euros
for the antennas. Individual radio amateurs from around the world donated
generously as did several organisations including AMSAT-UK and the RSGB.

The main mission of HamTV is to perform contacts between the astronauts on
the ISS and school students, not only by voice as now, but also by
unidirectional video from the ISS to the ground.

HamVideo is the name of the onboard DATV S-band transmitter. HamTV is the
name of the complete system, comprising DATV downlink and VHF voice uplink.
Kaiser Italia SRL was the prime-contractor for the design and development
of the flight and ground segment
