Are you ready for
SSTV yet?
If the SSTV project is activated from ISS, we may only see a
few hours of activation during the 10 day mission.
In last memo, I
omitted the link page where I keep some of my SSTV software links.
Thanks
to a reminder from WB2LLP Gene Marks, I have updated the software page links.
This page should give you find a few SSTV applications and helpful links that
are available.
Question:
Is SSTV on VHF different from SSTV on HF?
No, SSTV is the same on HF and VHF. When someone says they are sending
“Robot-36” it?s the same format for all bands. HF usually runs SSB and VHF
usually run FM. Most voice flavors will work for sending SSTV. There are also a
few flavors of Digital SSTV; however that?s beyond our scope at this time. ISS
will be using Analog SSTV in Robot-36 Mode.

The
standard downlink of 145.800 will be used for voice contacts, school contacts
and SSTV transmissions. Anyone with a FM receiver capable of monitoring the
145.800 MHz downlink can receive audio and SSTV images. The standard voice
uplink frequencies of 145.200 for ITU Region 1 (Europe, Africa and Russia) and
144.490 for ITU regions 2 & 3 (N. America, S. America, Southern Asia,
Australia) will be used.
