Hi Sasha,
PSAT-2 was our success thanks to offering the ride by Bob Bruninga. Unfortunately with his loss, PSAT-3 is unlikely. But camera experiment continues and is integrated in some pocked qubes of colleagues from EA. So if your mode will be available, we can implement it in the new firmware versions. So keep us informed.

Thank you very much everyone! I am touched by the enthusiasm :)
Due to the many replies I think
First of all, I2OIM, thank you for the interest!
KF4HR, thank you, also, for your interest. To boost interest in the mode I think I might make a challenge of who can make the most QSOs within, say, 30 days :) Would anyone be interested once the app comes out?
AA4KN, Unfortunately I don't have any videos, since right now the state of the software is a jumbled mess, not unlike goestools (sorry pietern ;)), although goestools is nowhere near as messy as mine. Once it's all patched up I'll release videos of it in operation.
AB6KX, would you have the link to the group? I'm very interested in this. Also freedv is the best!
G3VZV, my respect for the FunCube project is immense. I have received a lot of telemetry, and the bpsk mode is simply fantastic. The only thing is that it doesn't carry a camera, but I assume the next one will (given by your email)?
OK2PNQ, it was me on librespace who tried to receive PSAT-2 😊 Also, my respect for the project is immense. By the way, do you know when (or if) PSAT-3 will launch? PSAT is an exciting mission for me! As for the timetables, I haven't timed it on larger images but I can say that a good-sized (640x320) image can be transmitted without compression in about 50-80 seconds, depending on the level of error correction used.
Thank you very much for everyone's replies and enthusiasm!!
Also, may I take the time to complain that DSP is hard ;)

Hi Sasha, we are group which designed camera with SSTV downlink on PSAT-2. If you can provide some kind of table with resolution of pics vs. time needed for transmission, that would be a minimum to have something to compare with traditional modes as Robot36, MP73 etc. Tomas OK2PNQ Dne 7.9.2022 v 19:31 Sasha Tim napsal(a): > Hello everyone, > > This is my first time posting here, so please do reprehend me in case I > break a few guidelines. > > For the last few months, I have been developing a new digital slow scan > television mode for amateur satellites.
