Using a RTL SDR Dongle to receive pictures from the ISS

Cool! Yeah using the app to decode might be my next video.

 

I am going to check this out. Great video.

 

Sorry, but that will not work here. I know that in the latest ARRL letter are new appointments of SSTV transmissions, but here in Europe the timeframes are just to small to that time. Here I have to wait for another appointment. But I will try to mix the signals with a duplex transceiver next time. Here I want to have a steady signal to be at the center frequency and mix the other with the Doppler Shift moves.

 

Here is the info from ARRL:

Friday and Saturday, August 6 – 7, Russian cosmonauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) will transmit slow-scan television (SSTV) images from the station on 145.800 MHz FM. They will use SSTV mode PD-120. The transmissions are part of the Moscow Aviation Institute SSTV experiment (MAI-75) and will be sent via RS0ISS, the ham station in the Russian Zvezda (Service) module using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver.

The announced schedule is August 6, 1050 – 1910 UTC and August 7, 0950 – 1555 UTC. Dates and times are subject to change. For stations in the ISS footprint, the RS0ISS signal should be easy to copy on a handheld transceiver and a quarter-wave whip. Use 25-kHz channel spacing, if available. Free ISS software is available to download.

Pass predictions are available from AMSAT. Representative images from prior ISS SSTV events are available in the ARISS SSTV Gallery.

 

This coming Friday & Saturday

Really wish that these Youtube personalities would stop doing the open mouth gape in their screen shots.
