ISS SSTV in a Brazilian School

Paulo PV8DX of AMSAT-BR turned the recent Slow Scan TV transmissions
from the International Space Station into an education outreach
opportunity for amateur radio

On Monday, February 23, 2015 at the Gonçalves Dias school he explained
amateur radio to the students and demonstrated receiving an ISS SSTV
picture on 145.800 MHz FM.

The ISS pass he received did not produce a strong signal and only part
of the picture was captured but as can be seen from the video the
students were enthusiastic and excited to be receiving a signal from
space.

Paulo expressed the hope that the ISS will send images on school days
more often.
