Today while working the AO-92 pass at around 14:40 UTC, I heard SSTV on the downlink. It turned out to be PSAT-2 repeated by AO-92! The PSAT-2 downlink and AO-92 uplink frequencies are the same, and the two satellites were very close to each other, within a few hundred kilometers. Here is a link to the decoded image: https://twitter.com/ure_n8/status/1345383890949726208/photo/1
The same thing happened the following pass, although the SSTV signal was weaker and there were a number of QSOs going on at the same time.
This should happen periodically. Does anyone know of prediction software that can find times for satellite conjunctions like this?
