Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2025-01-06 23:30 UTC Quick list of scheduled contacts and events: Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT) and Vermont School, Mexico City, Mexico, telebridge via IK1SLD The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be OR4ISS The downlink frequency is presently scheduled to be 145.800 MHz The latest information on the operation mode can be found at https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html The scheduled crewmember is Nick Hague KG5TMV (***) The ARISS mentor is VE3TBD Contact is go for: Fri 2025-01-17 17:00:18 UTC 77 deg (***) Many times a school may make a last minute decision to do a Livestream or run into a last minute glitch requiring a change of the URL but we at ARISS may not get the URL in time for publication. You can always check https://live.ariss.org/ to see if a school is Livestreaming. The crossband repeater continues to be active. If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband repeater. So give a listen, you just never know. Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed time. All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8601 date and time format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS The complete schedule page has been updated as of 2025-01-06 23:30 UTC. (***) Here you will find a listing of all scheduled school contacts, and questions, other ISS related websites, IRLP and Echolink websites, and instructions for any contact that may be streamed live. https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.txt The successful school list has been updated as of 2024-12-17 20:30 UTC. https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf ####################################################################################################################################### Comments on making general contacts I have been seeing a lot of traffic on Facebook and I suspect on other social media sites with people asking why they are not hearing the crew make general contacts. First off the crew is very busy on the ISS and they simply may not have the time to just pick up the microphone and talk. Also, one needs to be aware of their normal daily schedule. I have listed below the constraints that we at ARISS have to follow in order to schedule the school contacts. Hopefully this will help you better schedule your opportunities. Typical daily schedule Wakeup to Workday start= 1.5 hours Workday start to Workday end=12 hours Workday end to Sleep= 2 hours Sleep to wakeup= 8.5 hours The crew's usual waking period is 07:30 – 19:30 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking up and about an hour before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free most of the weekend, as well. SSTV events are not that often. So please check out https://www.ariss.org/ for the latest information or watch for the ARISS announcements. And don’t forget that the packet system is sometimes active. Check the status at https://www.ariss.org/ or http://www.issfanclub.eu to see if the packet system is active or not. As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios are turned off as part of the safety protocol. The latest information on the operation mode can be found at https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html The latest list of frequencies in use can be found at https://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html ######################################################################################################################################## A multi-point telebridge contact means that each student will be on the telebridge from their own home. **************************************************************************************************************************************** ARISS is very aware of the impact that COVID-19 is having on schools and the public in general. As such, we may have last minute cancellations or postponements of school contacts. As always, I will try to provide everyone with near-real-time updates. Watch for future COVID-19 related announcements at https://www.ariss.org/ The following schools have now been postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19: Postponed: No new schools Cancelled: No new schools **************************************************************************************************************************************** The ARISS webpage is at https://www.ariss.org/ Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.

Re: sstv images from a digital recorder

Jack, EA4GPZ has mentioned that SSDV can be decoded using gr-satellites - Decoding SSDV from JY1SAT: https://destevez.net/2019/04/decoding-ssdv-from-jy1sat/ Acording to him, the SSDV images can be decoded with the FUNcube dashboard software, but that software is closed-source and there is no public description about the format in which the images are sent. That is why he used gr-satellites. As Rajesh mentioned, I have also not tried decoding SSDV images yet. 73 Jon, VU2JO On Mon, Jan 6, 2025 at 8:17 PM Rajesh Vagadia - VU2EXP via AMSAT-BB < amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote: > Hi Jack, > I have not yet decoded any Images from AO-123. > 73 > Rajesh VU2EXP > > On Mon 6 Jan, 2025, 10:20 AM Jack Blake, <jblake8061(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Rajesh, how do you decode the SSDV images from AO-123 that were >> transmitted? >> DE AI4LL >> >> On Sun, Jan 5, 2025 at 3:52 PM Rajesh Vagadia - VU2EXP via AMSAT-BB < >> amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote: >> >>> Hi Samuel, >>> >>> I was doing same process earlier. >>> Now since few series I am live decoding sstv images using *RXSSTV* >>> software which gives PD120 mode selection as well, it's nice & pretty >>> simple software you can try.

Re: Orbit Number?

Of course the 18th SDS keeps track of the orbit numbers. And they publish these numbers in all their orbital parameters, like TLEs. That's why satellite tracking programs can show you the orbit number. Note that there are several different definitions for the orbit number. Depending on the definition used by the source of your orbital parameters, the number may have an offset of 1. Therefore most people don't use orbit numbers. They simply use the date/time as reference. 73, Nico PA0DLO On 06-01-2025 06:12, John Lutz via AMSAT-BB wrote: > Thank you to everyone for working through this for me.

I usually just set it to auto though.

If you don't see PD120, try right clicking on some of the available modes and selecting PD120. 73, John Brier KG4AKV On Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 14:57 samuel galet via AMSAT-BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote: > Good day all. > > > I recorded many images from the sstv iss experiment to a digital recorder > on my phone and when I tried to decode them on mmsstv as I have done before > the program seems to have changed from the last time I used it.

Re: Orbit Number?
by John Lutz 05 Jan '25

05 Jan '25

Thank you to everyone for working through this for me. It's interesting that the ISS has made so many revolutions around the earth. I was unaware of that. Regarding orbit numbers, I suppose that I thought that the U.S. Space Command (or some other government agency) perpetually kept track of that kind of thing. Thank again.
