The following\nrepresents some new information and capabilities that we are rolling out\nto the community to prepare for Richard's and Mike's flight.  Please go\nto www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, www.arrl.org and www.issfanclub.com for\nreal-time information updates.\n\nThe ARISS SSTV team announces the new ARISS SSTV Web Gallery and Blog.\n\nA website has been established to enable amateur radio operators to\nshare their pictures received from the International Space Station's\nSSTV system. People wishing to view photos captured from the ISS or\nupload their own captured pictures can go to\nhttp://www.amsat.com/ARISS_SSTV/.  There is also\na blog in which the ARISS SSTV Team will post announcements and\nadditional information about the project.  The blog can be viewed at\nhttp://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/.\n\nTo prepare for the upcoming SSTV operations, you are welcome to \"try\nout\" the new Web Gallery by posting past SSTV images (on-orbit and\nterrestrial). These will be deleted prior to the ARISS SSTV events that\nare planned for this weekend and during ISS Expedition 17 and Richard\nGarriott's flight (see below).\n\nISS SSTV Operations Planned for October 12\n\nThe ARISS team received word from ARISS Russia delegate Sergey Samburov,\nRV3DR, that the current ISS crew expect to transmit SSTV on October 12\nfrom 18:00-21:00 UTC.  This is your opportunity to test out your SSTV\nreception capability and to post images on the ARISS SSTV Gallery.  The\nplanned downlink for this operation will be 145.80 MHz with Robot 36 as\nthe expected SSTV mode of operation.\n\nGood luck receiving SSTV images this weekend, and from the ISS during\nRichard Garriott's flight.\n\nRichard Garriott Operations\n\nAs stated previously, Richard plans to perform several school contacts\nand downlink SSTV images during his flight.  He also plans to contact\nthe general ham community in his free time and perform random scout\ncontacts during Jamboree on the Air.  SSTV downlinks are planned on\n145.80.  SSTV uplinks are not currently planned.  The standard general\ncontact frequencies will be used to support the Jamboree on the Air and\ngeneral QSO passes.\n\nSo that you are not calling CQ for naught, Richard's school contacts,\nthanks to Will Marchant, KC6ROL, Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, and Sergey\nSamburov, RV3DR, are tentatively scheduled as follows:\n\nChallenger Learning Center Combined Contact #1,\ntelebridge via W6SRJ; on Thu  2008-10-16 16:39 UTC\nHoward B.
