ARLA/CLUSTER: Evento conjunto especial entre a ARISS e a NASA

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

ARISS joins NASA On-The-Air for a special SSTV event

*Amateur Radio On The International Space Station* (ARISS) is planning a
very special Slow Scan Televison (SSTV) event during October 27-29 on
145.800 MHz FM using PD-120

SSTV transmissions are currently scheduled to start October 27 about 1000
UTC. Helping to support the event will be NASA's Space, Communication and
Navigation (SCaN) Department.

The Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN) program manages NASA's three
most important communications networks: The Space Network (SN), Near Earth
Network (NEN), and the Deep Space Network (DSN).

Just as in past ARISS SSTV commemorations, twelve images will be
downlinked, but this time with six featuring the SCaN educational
activities while the other six images will commemorate  major NASA
anniversaries, ie., when NASA was established, astronauts first landing on
the moon, etc.

In addition to the fun of receiving these images, participants can qualify
for a special endorsement for the NASA On The Air (NOTA) celebration event.

Once received, images can be posted and viewed at

The transmissions are expected to be broadcast at the usual frequency of
145.800 MHz using the PD-120 SSTV mode.

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

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.
