I don't know if this of any interest to the site, but I made the first satellite SSTV contact with Dick Richards on 3jul92. I have the one he sent to me, but cannot locate it.

The pics attached are of the qsl's from him,(front and back) and also on my site:

as STS50SSTV1.JPG and STS50SSTV2.JPG

I have never seen what he received from me, and they are probably so deep in the archives they will never be seen again!!

The equipment I used was long before computer digital stuff was available, a ROBOT 1200, with all the mods, and I still have the equipment..

ISS Amateur Radio Status: March 11, 2008 By Miles Mann WF1F, Slow Scan TV from Space Station Mir, 10 years later. On December 12, 1998 the crew members of the Russian Space station Mir activated the Marex SSTV system. Over the next two years the system broadcasted over 20,000 SSTV images back to earth via Amateur Radio. te the 10 year anniversary of the successful imaging project, the Marx team is planning on upgrading our web page system to accommodate the many images that were transmitted during the projects 2 year run. In 1998 we just did not have the resources in place to handle the hundreds of images coming in every day. As a result only a small select on of the images were ever posted for public enjoyment.
