I am very interested in the digital photo transmit mode.
So far I have tested ordinary SSTV in many modes and DSSTV with reed-salomon correction.
I constructed a Digital SSTV transmitter based on rpi suspended under a stratospheric balloon, which took pictures in the stratosphere from a height of 37 km and transmitted them to Earth at a resolution as high as 1920x1080 - it took about 4.5 minutes. 640x480 could be transmitted in 30sec to 1 min depending on the mode selected.
As part of our tests last year, we tested sending DSSTV via the ISS repeater with success.
I am very curious about your transmission method.

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. The focus is to still be able to recover a complete image at reasonable speeds. In fact, current tests show that if 100% data recovery is desired, then up to 30% data loss can happen. If resolution is sacrificed, there can be up to 80% loss and still be able to recover the entire image, unlike sstv and other scanline systems. Also, a noise free image (100% recovery) can be received down to about 10dB SNR.
Would some of you be interested in this mode? It’s halfway thru development, and if there is enough interest I will post code on GitHub and this bulletin once it’s finished.
Thank you,
Sasha T
