April 12 is the International Day of Human Spaceflight so, what better

Frequency: 145.800 MHz FM (+/-3.5 kHz Doppler Shift)
SSTV Mode: PD120 (Transmission cycle 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off)
Amateurs are invited to upload decoded images in the ARISS gallery, area
“Series 26 – Humans in space” at: https://ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/
Once submitted, clicking on the dedicated button enables application for
the official ARISS SSTV award.
The ARISS QSL can also be requested by contacting the European QSL bureau:
https://www.ariss-eu.org/index.php/ariss-station/european-qsl-bureau
To support everyone interested in such events, the European Space Agency
released tutorials about how to receive pictures transmitted over amateur
radio by the International Space Station: you can find them on
https://issfanclub.eu/2024/11/08/esa-tips-how-to-get-pictures-from-the-inter...
Its always possible to receive the ISS SSTV signal by using the WebSDR at
the Goonhilly Earth Station, the audio can then be fed into your PC or
Smartphone SSTV App https://vhf-goonhilly.batc.org.uk/
Follow @ARISS_intl on X for official updates, since changes can occur.
Reminder, the images are sent on a (roughly) 2 minutes on, 2 minutes off
schedule. So if nothing is heard, give it 2 minutes!
Many FM rigs can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM filters. For
best results you should select the filter for wider deviation FM. Handhelds
generally have a single wide filter fitted as standard.
Predictions for the ISS pass times are available at
