Just finished uploading a copy from the most recent pass over North America. Had excellent reception on my handheld in Morehead City, NC. Here's a link to what I got. http://i.imgur.com/tPNGFEE.png I just missed the fist part of the transmission but I managed to get the rest just fine. - 73 kj4vyr, Josh On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 2:42 PM, Lizeth Norman <normanlizeth(a)gmail.com> wrote: > SSTV still being transmitted 1840z > > On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 1:14 PM, Kenneth Ransom <n5vho.ken(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > Some more images have been posted to the Gallery at > > http://spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php > > > > > > > > On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 11:36 AM, Dave Webb KB1PVH <kb1pvh(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > > >> Here is a link to the SSTV pics so far. > >> > >> http://t.co/oV16Bs9b5E > >> > >> Dave-KB1PVH > >> > >> > >> On Sat, Sep 6, 2014 at 12:21 PM, Nitin Muttin <vu3tyg(a)yahoo.co.in> > wrote: > >> > >> > Great clarity in the picture Fabiano. > >> > > >> > 73 > >> > Nitin (vu3tyg) > >> > > >> > Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android > >> > > >> > _______________________________________________ > >> > Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] Antenna Burn Resistor data
by Ross Whenmouth 06 Sep '14

06 Sep '14

Bob, does your mass budget allow you to include a fuse in series with the burn resistor? eg Looking at: http://www.matronic.de/pdf/herstellerkataloge/littelfuse_katalog/Chapter10S… Your 15R burn resistor will draw ~ 0.5A from your 7.5V supply? Looking at the fuse curves for the "FLAT-PAK Slo-Blo Fuse 203 Series" on page 23 of that PDF, the 1/4A variant of those fuses should open after about 6 seconds @ 0.5A (might blow a bit quicker in a vacuum though since there is no atmosphere to convect heat away from the fuse?) There will be other suitable fuses - the above is just an example (I do not work for Littelfuse). 73 ZL2WRW Ross Whenmouth

Sarah Brightman to start space flight training in January
by M5AKA 05 Sep '14

05 Sep '14

The UK's Sarah Brightman expects to start space flight training in January. She may fly to the ISS in September 2015. Her mission highlights the rapid escalation of launch charges in recent years. In 2006 the Iranian-American engineer Anousheh Ansari paid $20 million for her mission to the ISS, Sarah will have to pay $52 million.

ISS SSTV September 5 for 15 minutes
by M5AKA 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Paulo PV8DX has spotted that the current ISS Work Plan at http://www.mcc.rsa.ru/plan.htm has a 15 minute slot allocated for SSTV operation on Friday, September 5. Perhaps this is just a test of the system, maybe trying some different software settings to see if they can get some tones transmitted ?? If so let's hope it works. 73 Trevor M5AKA
