ISS SSTV – weekend of July 18

Posted on by

ARISS SSTV images were transmitted this weekend from the amateur radio station in the ISS Russian Service Module to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Apollo-Soyuz Mission.

40 years ago this week, the historic joint Apollo-Soyuz mission was conducted. Apollo-Soyuz (or Soyuz-Apollo in Russia) represented the first joint USA-Soviet mission and set the stage for follow-on Russia-USA space collaboration on the Space Shuttle, Mir Space Station and the International Space Station.

Below images that where received during the night between the 18th and the 19th of July with a FUNcube Dongle Pro+, SDR# and RX-SSTV.

TechEdSat3P Launch.

With all cubesat launches using the Minotaur 1 and the DNEPR rockets one could almost forget the last Cubesat that is launched from the ISS Kibo module. Here a beautiful image from that launch.

As far as I know there is no data received from this satellite. More information can be found at the TechEdSat website.

First three launched

Posted on by

The first three are launched from the Kibo module.

ISS Kibo ModuleThe cubesats: Pico Dragon, Ardusat-1 and Ardusat-X are successfully launch from the Japanese Kibo module. TechEdsat will be launched tomorrow from the same module.

JE9PEL, Mineo Wakita heard and recorded the CW signals from PicoDragon. The satellite transmits on 437.250MHz with CW modulation. Here a link to the recording from JE9PEL listen to Pico Dragon.

The decoded CW: “PICODRAGON VIETNAM 5”

Video is no longer available

The latest update 19-11 20:00 UTC: Pico Dragon frequency offset was around +3.0 to +3.5 kHz. A powerful & clear signal. Decoding CW was even possible in low EL(6deg).

[PE0SAT Thanks JE9PEL, Mineo Wakita for the above information]
