Thanks for your reports that SSTV seems to be off during multiple recent passes.

We did receive some early decodes into the gallery followed by these notes on social media.

The ops team is investigating and we'll share updates when available.

Check out the aurora forecast from NOAA. This isn't even the 5.1 that I reposted about earlier. #aurorahunter #spaceweather

Bright halo CME heading directly for Earth. Impact will be likely early on November 13th (UTC). Strong (G3) to Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm watch will likely be added. SolarHam.com

Awesome, love seeing the blue line at the end.

As of Tuesday, 4 November, the ISS Columbus Module radio is configured as a crossband repeater with a downlink on 437.800 MHz and an uplink on 145.990 MHz using PL 67 Hz. The Service Module radio is set for Packet (APRS) on 145.825 MHz for both uplink and downlink. HamTV is currently active, transmitting a blank AV signal on 2395 MHz (2.395 GHz). From 12–20 November, SSTV Series 30 will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the International Space Station and Scouting by sending 12 PD-120 images over nine days, with transmissions beginning around 17:30 UTC (12:30 PM ET) on Wednesday, 12 November on 145.800 MHz; a certificate will be available. Upcoming ARISS 25th anniversary milestones include the first test of the ISS amateur radio payload on 13 November during Expedition 1 (with Russia and then the USA), and the first educational contact on 21 December with Bill Shepherd and The Burbank School in the US. All event timings are subject to change.

All systems nominal for the ARISS radios today. So, have some fun making voice and APRS contacts!

Remember, beginning Wed. 12-Nov, SSTV Series 30 will replace APRS for 9 days, so get those packets sent while you can!

You know that Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) was the first educational payload on the station! So we are going to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ISS in style!

Get ready for an SSTV event covering parts of 9 days! It's scheduled to kick off on Wed. November 12.

Reminder that due to a conflict with some activities on the ISS, there will be no SSTV event this weekend.

Teams are working to reschedule in mid-November. Please watch our feed for info as it's available.

The image is an update from ARISS regarding the SSTV Series 30 event, which is delayed due to planned spacewalks on the ISS. The ARISS Operations team is considering mid-November dates for the new Series 30 schedule. Updates will be shared via ARISS social media. The image also features the ARISS SSTV Award certificate for World Space Week 2025, dated October 3-9, 2025, and includes an image from Series 29.

The schedule on the ISS has created a conflict with this weekend's planned SSTV event.

Due to some EVA's (spacewalks) the ARISS Series 30 SSTV event will be rescheduled. It's now targeted for mid-November.

The Space Week SSTV Event, Series 29, begins on October 3, 2025, featuring 6 images transmitted from the ISS on 145.800 MHz using PD120 encoding. Transmissions occur in two windows for a school event, with tentative times: - **First Window**: Oct 3-4, Start Fri 14:00 UTC (10:00 AM Eastern), End Sat 10:00 UTC (6:00 AM Eastern). - **Second Window**: Oct 4-6, Start Sat 11:00 UTC (7:00 AM Eastern), End Mon TBD. The same images will be sent in both windows.

Are you ready for some SSTV from space?

The next ARISS SSTV weekend will start on Fri. October 3. Series 29 will be 6 images related to Space Week!

The event will take a break for a scheduled contact Saturday, see the full schedule in the graphic.

Had I read the full ad, I would have seen it does! Even better!

Oh that is "awesome", if I need one while I'm in Ohio or such I'll know where to go .. lol. And I wonder if it qualifies for 11% rebate

Started a @flightradar24.com ADS-B receiver today, quick and easy with some spare parts I had laying around my home office (spare for a geek, that is). One @raspberrypi.com and a SDR stick and I was off and running. Hint, update/upgrade after initial setup got the only kink I had ironed out.

for those interested in alternate photography styles (I just found out about it, so it may be old news to some).

August 13, 2011 - ARISSat-1 Reading over on Bluesky tonight (playing catch up as usual) I found ARISS posted a message reminding us of the anniversary of ARISSat-1 being "launched". It's more of a thrown out the door type of thi...

Decided to start a new blog / newsletter. My first message there was my old notes related to #arissat You can find it at n0hio-logbook.ghost.io/august-13-20...

ARISSat-1/KEDR, launched from the ISS on August 3, 2011, was built by AMSAT teams in a Florida garage using NASA and Russian hardware. It was released from the Pirs docking compartment during a Russian spacewalk and operated for 5 months, also known as RadioSkaf-V. It served as a follow-up to SuitSat-1.

Tomorrow will be 14 years since ARISSat-1 was launched from the International Space Station.

Also known as KEDR and RadioSkaf-V, it was in use from Aug. 3 to Jan. 4 before it reentered the atmosphere. It offered voice, SSTV and CW.

Here's my copy of that image captured
Found my notes that even mention some voice that I heard during one of the passes. Wow, thanks for the memories on that one! #ariss #hamradio #arisssat

Working the ARISS packet radio is a fun activity.

The ARISS Ops team is aware that the APRS radio (145.825 MHz) is off-line. We'll share updates when available.

The image shows a HamTV unit, part of the amateur television system on the ISS, with a schedule for installation on Tue, 29-July, from 07:55 to 09:55 UTC (3:55 to 5:55 AM ET). A successful install should have the unit active and transmitting a carrier. Reception reports are requested via social media. HamTV uses MPEG-2 video with DVB-S protocol, transmitting on 2395 MHz (2.395 GHz), primarily for educational contacts. More info is available on the BATC wiki, ARISS discussion, Discord, and live feed when available. (2014 NASA photo of the HamTV unit in the ISS Columbus module.)

The installation of HamTV is on the ISS work schedule for next week. Successful completion could mean test transmissions going out beginning on Tuesday.

Check the graphic for more info.

For more information about HamTV the British Amateur Television Association has a detailed Wiki. Find it at wiki.batc.org.uk/HAMTV_from_t...

Reminder: If you would like a certificate from the Series 28 SSTV event, upload your images before 7:59 PM ET | 23:59 UTC tonight.
