 ARISS celebrates its 20th anniversary through SSTV event

In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of ARISS, a Slow Scan
Television (SSTV) event is planned for Thursday, July 20 starting
around 21:25 UTC.

The event plans to feature images from ARISS activities both past and
present. This opportunity should cover most of the world during the
operation period.

The event plans to use a computer on the ISS Russian Segment, which
stores images that are then transmitted to Earth using the ham radio,
specifically the onboard Kenwood TM D710 transceiver. Those receiving
the images can post them at https://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/ for
viewing by the public.

The 20 year history of ARISS will be displayed through a collection of
12 unique images sharing the amazing accomplishments of ARISS over the
last two decades. SSTV signals will be sent to earth at 145.80 MHz
using FM. The SSTV mode of transmission is expected to be PD 120 (PD
180 may be a second option). The event is expected to continue over a
two day period.

Since it’s inception, Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) has provided students an opportunity, through ham radio, to
engage in conversation with orbiting astronauts and inspired many to
seek careers in science, technology, engineering and math. Consider
how you might inspire students in your area through this chance to
capture images directly from space to their computers.

Please note that the event, and any ARISS event, is dependent on other
activities, schedules and crew responsibilities on the ISS and are
subject to change at any time.

While preparations are being finalized please check for new and the
most current information on the AMSAT.org and ARISS.org websites, the
AMSAT-BB  amsat.org, the ARISS facebook at Amateur Radio On The
International Space Station (ARISS) and ARISS twitter @ARISS_status
