This is the same 2.4 GHz digital amateur TV transmitter that was operating in the Columbus module several years ago. It is not SSTV. The unit failed and was returned to Earth pre-pandemic, has since been repaired with no changes, given a new external RF filter, and is now being returned to ISS. HamTV is aboard the SpaceX CRS-30 launch scheduled for March 21 at 4:55 PM EDT.
The AMSAT-ON site that Paul mentioned has a good technical description.

Does AMSAT have a "how to" doc on receiving transmisions from this new equipment?
