Richard Garriott on Orbit!! SSTV Gallery and Blog
All,
Richard Garriott is now on-orbit. Launch occurred at 3:01 ET this morning. The crew plans to dock with ISS on October 14.
In preparation for the SSTV activity on ISS, the ARISS team is encouraging hams to upload their AO-51 and ISS SSTV pictures on the ARISS SSTV Gallery. In addition, we are posting late breaking information and pictures on the ARISS SSTV blog.
The blog is at:
http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/
And the gallery is at:
http://www.amsat.com/ARISS_SSTV/
There are links at the Gallery site to submit your SSTV pictures. And their are helpful hints to prepare for SSTV on Richard Garriott's flight.
We appreciate you submitting pictures to the gallery.

Greetings SSTV Team: The "public" web page is at http://amsat.com/~ARISS/SSTV/index.php and the URL to that will change to be something shorter and more intuitive.
The editorial page is at http://amsat.com/~ARISS/SSTV/review.php and you should all have accounts there now.
Please don't give these URLs out to anyone outside the team. The pictures that are on this page are for testing purposes. We'll need to clean those off before we announce the pages to the public. 73, Will

Mode of passes over NA seems unpredictable.
The 17:40Z pass was just carrier until ISS was half way across NA and then Richard came on and made a few QSO's, one with a school and another with a VA3
I was sitting with MMSSTV monitoring when the voice TX started.
Next time I will have SatPC32ISS running along side of MMSSTV :-)
