Possible, but I havenāt seen that image on any websites yet 
UMKA has a high pass at my QTH later today, so Iām hoping for a different image!

My 70cm yagi is fixed in position pointing 90 degrees straight up, and the SSTV transmission occurred at a lower elevation - so the image received is very bad 
ā¦ and this From Vizard-Meteo at about 2am UTC on 6th May (low elevation, Robot 72 mode). Monitor-4 was transmitting TM bursts but no SSTV.

The silent period of (typically) 3 minutes between SSTV image transmissions is VERY frustrating - a smaller silent period would probably allow reception of more than 1 image per pass. I suspect the transmitter needs to cool down a bit between these image transmissions!
Its a bit infuriating looking at that super strong telemetry signal knowing that it will start transmitting in 3 minutes and by that time the satellite would have moved half the country.
A quicker SSTV mode like Robot36 would be nice aswell.
But hey. Have to take what you get i guess.
Hi all. In the chaos I forgot to leave information here. But Iāll improve.
On May 7 there will be a program in honor of Radio Day.
SSTV Robot 36 mode will be activated
On May 9, 10, 11, 12, it is planned to continue the programs of childrenās drawings āUMKA from Spaceā.
The transmission will take place in different modes Robot72 and Robot36, the time and intervals will also be different for these modes.
One day there will be a technical break. I will inform you about it in advance.

Great news! Is it only UMKA that is active during these events or are there more satellites involved?
I am only responsible for Umka. And I canāt know for sure about the plans of other operators.
But I can notify you about them if I become aware.

For this May 7th SSTV event, there was only a low pass over my location (Laos), so unfortunately I didnāt get much of an imageā¦
@ra3ppy Aleksey, do you know how to apply for the mentioned QSL card for Š£ŠŠŠ ŠøŠ· ŠŗŠ¾ŃŠ¼Š¾ŃŠ° (Ń 4 ŠæŠ¾ 5 and Ń 9 ŠæŠ¾ 12 Š¼Š°Ń)?
Will that be similar to the diploma for March 16 to 31 event?
Nothing from UMKA except telemetry on two passes. Got a very faint SSTV transmission from Vizard Meteo (57189) but the SNR was too bad to give a decent decode.
Confirming UMKAās passes for 07:3x and 09:1x utc.
