ARISS SSTV Event Continues Until Monday October 14
ARISS is planning a Slow Scan Television (SSTV) experiment from the
International Space Station started this past Tuesday and is scheduled to
run until Monday, October 14, at 14:10 GMT.
The transmission frequency will be 145.800 MHz FM, using SSTV mode PD120.
The ISS callsign will be RS0ISS.
The SSTV transmissions will be made using the station in the Russian ISS
Service Module. The equipment used is a Kenwood D710 transceiver running
about 25 watts output which provides a very strong signal enabling
reception using simple equipment. Images received by amateurs world-wide
during previous transmissions can be seen at
http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV.
Amateurs can receive the SSTV pictures directly from the space station by
connecting the audio output of their two-meter transceiver via a simple
interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC or an Apple iOS device. On
Windows PC’s the free application MMSSTV can be used to decode the signal,
on Apple iOS devices you can use the SSTV app for compatible modes. For
Linux systems try QSSTV.
The ISS puts out a strong signal so even a 2M handheld with a 1/4 wave
antenna will be enough to receive it but one’s chances of success are
significantly improved with the use of a handheld beam antenna. The FM
transmission uses 5 kHz deviation which is standard in much of the world.
Many FM rigs can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM filters. For
best results you should select the filter for wider deviation FM. Handhelds
all seem to have a single wide filter fitted as standard.
Reports are requested: please send ARISS uploading your decoded pictures in
the official ARISS SSTV gallery:
https://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/
An SSTV Award is also available. To get this award one should receive and
decode at least one picture in the session. The quality of the received
image does not have to be perfect, but good enough to be able to identify.
Rules for earning the award are available at https://ariss.pzk.org.pl/sstv/.
Useful information to receive the pictures can be found here at
https://amsat-uk.org/beginners/iss-sstv/

Call for ARISS Proposals from U.S. Educators
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2025 and December 31, 2025. Crew scheduling and ISS
orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio
contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a
well-developed education plan.
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 17th, 2024. Proposal
information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and
the proposal form can be found at www.ariss.org. An ARISS Introductory
Webinar session will be held on Wednesday, October 16 at 7 PM ET. The Zoom
link to sign up is:
https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcpfuqpqzwiGdSZl0IXCPV6XP2OznBnaOIN
The Opportunity
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts
through a question-and-answer session.
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur
Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and
classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the
opportunity to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and
work in space and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS.
Students also will have an opportunity to learn about satellite
communication, wireless technology, and radio science. Because of the
nature of human spaceflight and the complexity of scheduling activities
aboard the ISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate
changes in dates and times of the radio contact.
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations’ volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.
Please direct any questions to education at ariss-usa.org .

Changes to AMSAT TLE Distribution for October 10, 2024
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps
in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical
model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly
updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin
files are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if
new high interest satellites are launched. More information may be found at
https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/
CIRBE NORAD Cat ID 56188 Decayed from orbit on or about 04 October 2024

ARISS News
Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between
amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with
astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. The
downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide.

As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down), If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do
is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.
The latest information on the operation mode can be found at

Upcoming Satellite Operations
A growing number of satellite rovers are currently engaged in sharing their
grid square activations on https://hams.at. By visiting the website, you
gain easy access to comprehensive information about the operators
responsible for activating specific grid squares. Additionally, you have
the ability to assess the match score between yourself and a particular
rover for a given pass, while also being able to identify the upcoming
satellite passes that are accessible from your location.
Guyana: Aldir, PY1SAD (ZZ1M), operates from Georgetown as 8R1TM between
Oct. 12 and Nov. 24 on 160-10m (CW, SSB, digital modes) and via
satellites. QSL via LoTW, eQSL, qrz.com. (From DXNL 2427 - October 9, 2024)

AMSAT Ambassador Activities
AMSAT Ambassadors provide presentations, demonstrate communicating through
amateur satellites, and host information tables at club meetings, hamfests,
conventions, maker faires, and other events.
AMSAT Ambassador Clint Bradford, K6LCS, says,
"Think a 75-minute presentation on "working the easy satellites" would be
appropriate for your club or event? Let me know by emailing me at
k6lcsclint (at) gmail (dot) com or calling me at 909-999-SATS (7287)!"
Clint has NEVER given the exact same show twice: EACH of the 150+
presentations so far has been customized/tailored to their audiences.
