SSTV Transmissions From The ISS – December 8th & 9th

Slow-scan television (SSTV) transmissions from the International Space Station (ISS) are scheduled for December 8-9.  The SSTV images will be transmitted from RS0ISS on 145.800 MHz FM as part of the Moscow Aviation Institute MAI-75 Experiment, using the Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver in the ISS Service Module.

MAI-75 activities have been scheduled on December 8, 1235-1800 UTC, and December 9, 1240-1740 UTC.  These times correspond to passes over Moscow, Russia.  ISS transmissions on 145.800 MHz FM use 5-kHz deviation, and SSTV transmissions have used the PD120 and PD180 formats.

The ISS Fan Club website can show when the space station is within range of your station.  On Windows PCs, the free application MMSSTV can decode the signal.  On Apple iOS devices, use the SSTV app available through iTunes.
