Final day of ISS SSTV experiment

Today Friday, January 29 is the last day of the current SSTV experiment from the International Space Station (ISS)

Thursday saw SSTV transmissions on 145.800 MHz using PD160 format and some some good pictures were received. They were generated using MMSSTV software running on one of the Space Station laptops.

Some of the pictures received can be seen on the ARISS SSTV Gallery at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/

It looks as though todays PD160 transmissions, like yesterday, will only be made when in range of Europe.

You can use the free Slow Scan TV Software MMSSTV to decode the pictures using your PCs sound card.

Vox Recoder by IZ8BLY is also free and enables you to record the signals from the ISS on 145.800 MHz while you're away at work. You can download a copy from

• How do you recognise an ISS SSTV transmission and what do you need to decode it? 
Miles Mann WF1F has some suggestions.
