ISS SSTV MAI-75 Dec 1-2

Russian cosmonauts on the International Space Station (ISS) are planning to transmit Slow Scan TV images on 145.800 MHz FM using the SSTV mode PD-120.

The transmissions are part of the Moscow Aviation Institute SSTV experiment (MAI-75) and will be made from the amateur radio station RS0ISS in the Russian ISS Service module (Zvezda) using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver.

Schedule:

December 1, 2021 (Wednesday) from 12:10 GMT until 19:10 GMT*
December 2, 2021 (Thursday) from 11:40 GMT until 17:20 GMT*

(Dates and times subject to change.)

from ARISS-SSTV images: December MAI experiment there is an update on the hours:

UPDATE - Nov 29

Looks like the times have shifted a little bit.

December 1 – Start: 12:25 UTC. Stop: 18:45 UTC

December 2 – Start: 12:00 UTC. Stop: 18:05 UTC

The transmitter is now enabled and you schedule observations. Remember that sometimes the transmission starts a little earlier and stops a little later than the scheduled, so I suggest you try schedule 30min before start and 30min after end.

On more note, as the signal is pretty strong, I suggest, even if your station has a horizon limit, you schedule from 0 to 0 degrees. To do this in Sign In with Auth0 before hitting calculate button, go to show advanced settings and set custom station horizon to 0.

EVA on Nov 30 has been delayed until Dec 2. This eliminates Dec 2 as a possible transmission day for SSTV. Awaiting info for additional changes.
