UMKA-1 telescope satellite mission

it work with wine in linux. nice app. with “image adjustment” button we can set the brightness, contrast, sharpness, noise filter . thanks for share

Question about the SSTV operations - yesterday I received a couple of images (one of them was the drawing of the mountains), all in robot36 mode.
Today I received the image of the mountains in robot 72.

Are the images encoded by the On-Board computer? does it automatically decide what mode to transmit? or is this a command from the ground? and if so - when do you decide if it’s robot36 or robot72?

Thanks!

if im not sure, i just use mode auto, in QSSTV app

I meant in terms of transmission. Same image, once transmitted in 36 and once in 72.

Hi, yes, the mountain image was received by me in Robot 72 mode on 2 consecutive days, with the other images sent in Robot 36 mode.

No idea why…
