Slow Scan TV images and audio clips from Richard Garriott W5WKQ's recent Amateur Radio operation from the International Space Station are now available on YouTube.
The YouTube description reads:
Here's a montage of SSTV video images combined with audio clips of Richard Garriott making 2-way amateur radio contacts during the third week of October 2008.
The video is presented in SSTV format as it was received in Robot 36 mode on a downlink frequency of 145.800 MHz FM.
These transmissions were made possible by ARISS, a volunteer program that inspires students worldwide to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math through amateur radio communications opportunities with the International Space Station (ISS) on-orbit crew.
We thank Richard Garriott, W5KWQ, son of astronaut Owen Garriott, W5LFL, for devoting so much of his time on-board the ISS in making amateur radio contacts with fellow amateur radio operators around the globe.
It has been a very exciting experience for all those involved.
