    ARISS SSTV transmissions April 11-14

    ARISS Russia is planning Slow Scan Television (SSTV) image transmissions on 145.800 MHz FM from the International Space Station April 11-14

    The transmissions begin Thursday, April 11, 2019 around 18:00 UTC and run continuously until approximately 18:00 UTC on Sunday, April 14, 2019.

    This event uses a computer in the ISS Russian Segment, which stores images that are then transmitted to Earth using the ARISS amateur radio station located in the Service Module which employs the Kenwood TM D710E transceiver.

    I attempted receiving images on two passes on April 11 in Maine. Both times the signal was strong enough to quiet the squelch, but the audio volume was very low. I was unable to grab an image. Will try again today...

    PROBLEMS today on ISS ..... on the last 3 passing , low signals no images , this the comunication :


    Many ground stations are reporting some issue about SSTV audio. Here are some communications from ARISS & AMSAT in amsat-bb.

    Check them and follow for any update.

    Checking on low audio issue w/ #ISS #SSTV. Bad timing due to crew holiday today and weekend.


    ARISS Representative Ken Ransom, N5VHO posted a tweet on this at 1:17 AM

    Same results here - occasional carrier being heard but no SSTV audio.
    Tried receiving both locally when ISS was over Oregon and also
    using SDR in Southampton, England - same results.

    Last pass here, S9 carrier, very low audio; too low to decode.

    What? A day off for Cosmonautics Day? At least keep the (automated?) equipment running on ISS. Perhaps there are some problems with equipment that prevents transmissions for today. This has happened before, I believe during one event station was transmitting on wrong freq. A simple fix but took couple days to determine.

    Though some may think Yuri's flight so many years ago a low priority on ISS. However, if it was not for him making the first flight, the space program would have been ***completely different*** than what it is now. In fact that flight is still being debated. Titov was a better cosmonaut but Gagarin had that priceless smile.

    Then 20 years later Shuttle makes the first flight, but it was planned two days before. However, on April 10 the onboard computer could not sync up with ground computer at T-minus 20 min. They reset the clocks and resume countdown but again, bam! the computers fail to sync at T-20. Going over and over trying to resolve issue... well have to scrub launch. Note I am simply recalling what I remember from more than 30 years ago (too lazy to google). They need two days to reschedule launch.

    Anyway here is what I received Thursday (didn't see it real time, it was on the PC when I returned home).
