[GCARC] Pictures from space start today - try the new app - operate tomorrow from the clubhouse

[Jon Pearce]

The Russian SSTV transmitter started sending SSTV pictures this morning. We picked it up on our SatNOGS feed (https://network.satnogs.org/observations/13768529/) from a direct overhead pass but the signal wasn't strong enough to decode. Perhaps it will get better with later passes.

A new promising satellite tracking program called Ham Satting is out that may be helpful during this session because it includes a SSTV decoder.  It's available for most platforms including Windows, Linux, iOS and Android. Check it out at https://www.unixeer.com/ham_satting/.

Tomorrow is an especially good day for satellite operating from the clubhouse so stop by if you're interested. The schedule is on the Skunkworks website under Club Activities at https://wp.w2mmd.org/wp/saturday-satellite/.
