Event Set 04/10/2018

ARISS-Russia will mark Cosmonautics Day (International Day of Human 
Space Flight) with special SSTV transmissions from the International 
Space Station. Transmissions are to begin on April 11 at 1130 UTC and 
run through April 14 at 1820 UTC.

Images from the Interkosmos Project period of the Soviet space program 
have been stored on a computer in the ISS Russian segment, and these are 
transmitted to Earth via Amateur Radio using a Kenwood TM-D710E 
transceiver. Images received can be posted and viewed.

The transmissions, coordinated with the Amateur Radio on the 
International Space Station (ARISS) scheduling team, will be on 145.800 
MHz using PD-120 SSTV protocol. As with other events of this type, the 
SSTV transmission are dependent on other activities, schedules, and crew 
responsibilities on the ISS and are subject to change at any time.
