Re: [amsat-bb] ISS-SSTV Aug 1-4 (and PSAT2)
And while you are waiting to see SSTV from ISS, remember PSAT2 also has SSTV.
It turns out PSAT2's strings of passes and ISS strings of passes are more-or-less alternating. So if ISS passes are generally in view now, PSAT2's are not. And if you have to wait several hours for ISS, then check and see if PSAT2 passes are in the area. PSAT2 is object number 44354. SSTV downlink is 435.350 +/- Doppler. SSTV is only on when the satellite is in Sun.
It helps to keep the PSAT2 transponder up if there is someone also on the PSK31 uplink during the pass on 29.4815 MHz.
