Russian SSTV Transmission Events Planned
ARISS Russia is planning Slow Scan Television (SSTV) transmissions from the
International Space Station. The transmissions are scheduled to occur over
Moscow on April 2, 2018 from 15:05 through 18:30 UTC and on April 3,
2018 from
14:15 through 18:40 UTC. The MAI-75 experiment uses a computer on the ISS
Russian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth
using
the amateur radio, specifically the onboard Kenwood TM D710E
transceiver. Images
received can be posted and viewed at
http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php .The
transmissions will
be broadcast at 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.
Please check for news 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.

+ Outdoor Demo Assistant - Paul N8HM
+ Facilities and Setup Assistant
We need as many volunteers as possible to help staff the AMSAT
booth during the Hamvention Last year, we had about 40 people assist
with the AMSAT booth at the Hamvention. It was the efforts of those
volunteers that made the 2017 Hamvention a success for AMSAT.
1. May 17 - Booth setup on Thursday.
2. May 18, 19, 20 - Staff the booth during Hamvention hours to
answer questions, enroll members, indoor demos, merchandise
and book sales. (We will train you!)
3. May 20 - Booth teardown on Sunday
The interaction with AMSAT members, satellite operators, designers,
and builders makes the whole experience a lot of fun.
Whether you're available for only a couple of hours or if you can
spend the entire weekend with us, your help would be greatly
appreciated.
Interested hams should contact Team Leader Phil Smith via email at:

Athenoxat-1 QSL Card Challenge
The Athenoxat-1 project team has implemented an interesting experiment
(puzzle)
where frames containing fragments of images of QSL cards are periodically
transmitted by the satellite. Amateurs can participate in the experiment by
receiving the fragments and sending KISS files via email to the Athenoxsat-1
project team. The frames will then be processed and the results will
posted in
their web site with acknowledgements to the participating stations.
AMSAT-BR would like to encourage amateurs to participate. Due to the
satellite
orbit inclination (15 degrees), only locations with latitudes below the
tropics
will be able to receive signals from the satellite on 437.485 MHz.
Signals can
be demodulated using UZ7HO’s high speed soundmodem software (using the
GOMX-1
4800 bps demodulator).
The project website is: http://www.micro-space.org/ham.html
