ARLA/CLUSTER: Transmissões continuas da ISS em SSTV

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

ISS SSTV transmissions continue

SSTV transmissions from the Russian Service module on the International
Space Station started June 29 on 145.800 MHz FM and they are still
continuing

There may well be further transmissions up until July 13 when the equipment
being used for the SSTV will be required for a school contact.

*David Boult G7HCE* in Exeter noted that some adjustments have been made by
the cosmonauts and the images are now being sent uncropped. For the first
week the edges of the pictures were missing.

The images commemorate the various satellites that were hand-deployed from
the ISS. These will include the first satellite deployment from ISS:
Suitsat-1/Radioskaf-1 which was developed by ARISS and deployed in February
2006.

The transmissions are being made on 145.800 MHz FM using the PD-120 SSTV
mode.

Note the ISS transmissions use the 5 kHz deviation FM standard rather than
the narrow 2.5 kHz used in Europe. If your transceiver has selectable FM
filters try using the wider filter. Handheld transceivers generally have a
single wide filter fitted as standard and you should get good results
outdoors using just a 1/4 wave whip antenna.
