Hello Mike,
If SSTV has run its course, please do not stop all together.
Not to worry. SSTV from space is one of our best crowd pleasers. And it is fun :-)
Sure wish the US would send as many ISS pictures as the Russians. I do not understand that either.
The current configuration of ham equipment on the ISS has the computer and transceiver that are SSTV-capable in the Russian segment of the ISS. A standard amateur radio configuration for everyone on the ISS is under development. See www.ariss.org.
Welcome to some of the coolest stuff in ham radio ... amateur radio in space!
