Announcing ARISS / NOTA Slow Scan TV Event

ARISS is planning another of their popular Slow Scan Television (SSTV)
experiment events. Transmissions are scheduled to begin Friday, Feb. 8
at 18:25 UTC and run through Sunday, Feb. 10 at 18:30 UTC.

SSTV operations is a process by which images are sent from the
International Space Station (ISS) via ham radio and received by ham
operators, shortwave listeners and other radio enthusiasts on Earth,
similar to pictures shared on cell phones using twitter or instagram.

When this event becomes active, SSTV images will be transmitted from
the ISS at the frequency of 145.80 MHz using the SSTV mode of PD120
and can be received using ham radio equipment as simple as a 2 meter
handheld radio or a common shortwave or scanner receiver the covers
the 2 meter ham band. After connecting the audio output of the radio
receiver to the audio input of a computer running free software such
as MMSSTV, the SSTV images can be displayed.

Transmissions will consist of eight NASA On The Air (NOTA) images see

In addition, four ARISS commemorative images will also be included.

Once received, Images can be posted and viewed by the public at

In addition, you can receive a special SSTV ARISS Award for posting
your image. Once the event begins, see details at

and crew responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any
time.

About ARISS

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a
cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the
space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In
the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the
Center for the Advancement of Science in space (CASIS) and National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing
scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the
ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during
these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities
learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org.
