Hello Angel, On this Wiki page you find more information from several different SSTV modes. http://amateur-radio-wiki.net/index.php?title=SSTV_Modes PD 160 - YC colour 161 seconds scan 384 lines. Probably you can not see the PD160 button in your MMSSTV software when there is no activity, but if you have a new MMSSTV version it will show up as soon as you receive an high resolution image wich is transmitted in the PD160 mode (from ISS). 73's Cor PD0RKC

Re: SSTV mode question (does your MMSSTV version has the new PD160 mode?).

by Cor

Hello Thomas and Angel, Not all SSTV modes are shown at the buttons in the MMSSTV program. The programmer can not make 43 buttons for 43 modes (no space for that at the main MMSSTV window). There is another way to see if the PD160 mode is present in your version. Move with the mouse button to the SSTV mode buttons, than click with the "right mouse button" and you will see a window showing up with all 43 modes: http://iss.ontwikkel.nl/sstvpd160.jpg If you have a new MMSSTV version you will see the PD160 mode between. If not, you have to download (and install) the newest MMSSTV 1.11G version: http://mmhamsoft.amateur-radio.ca/pages/mmsstv.php (it's freeware!). As soon you receive an SSTV image from ISS it will switch automatic to the right mode. 73's Cor PD0RKC

SSTV mode question

by santanaamt＠aol.com

Went to the ARISS Blogspot, and saw images received on the PD 160 mode on MMSSTV, and have not found that description, so where is it, or which is it's american counterpart mode? Saw the images captured from Europe . . . very sharp! Wondering, Angel - WP3GW P.S. There's another pass but much further at about 1350UTC, will give it a try =

ISS image recived

by santanaamt＠aol.com

At 1210 UTC got one image, and at 1214 a second grainy one, and to think that 13 hours ago saw ISS clearly passing over the island. Angel - WP3GW P.S. The image was submitted to the photo website.

ISS SSTV images received at 27 Januari.

by Cor

Currently the Russian cosmonaut(s) send SSTV images from the Space Station for the MAI-75 experiment. Probably different SSTV modes will be used these 3 days of activity, and it is recommanded to use MMSSTV (freeware) software wich support these modes. Several amateur radio operators have received already some ISS SSTV images, some are shown on the ARISS SSTV gallery page: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/ If you have received images please send them via the ARISS SSTV submission page: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/SSTV/submit.php We may not be able to display every image because of quality or duplication . But we keep them in the archieve for futher investigation. Good luck! 73's Cor PD0RKC

[sarex] Upcoming ARISS contact with Morioka Children's Museum of Science, Morioka, Iwate, Japan

by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Morioka Children's Museum of Science, Morioka, Iwate, Japan on 28 Jan. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 06:53 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and 8J7A. The contact should be audible over Japan and the adjacent area. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in Japanese. Amateur Radio Morioka club operated with Boy Scouts of Morioka 5.the Scout Association of Japan from Morioka Children's Museum of Science. Participants will ask as many of the following questions (translated) as time allows: 1. I suspect there is lots of space debris floating in space in addition to falling stars. What do you do to prevent them from coming into collision with you? 2. I'd like to be active internationally like you in the future. Could you give us some beneficial advice depending on your experiences? 3. When you were aiming to be an astronaut, were there any rewarding experiences you had as a boy scout? 4. Do you feel there's a clear distinction between day and night in the spaceship? Which time zone do you adjust your watches to? 5. Why don't artificial satellites fall on the earth? 6. What is the most interesting job to you of all the missions in the space station? 7. I've heard you are likely to have flabby muscles during a long stay in space. What muscular exercise do you do? And how long? 8. How do you relax when you are tired in the spaceship? 9. Do you take rest days in the space station? What do you do in your free ] time? 10. Can elementary and junior schoolers even travel through space after receiving proper training? What sort of training do you think is necessary? 11. When did you become interested in outer space? What made you decide to be a spaceman? 12. Do you notice any effects of global warming when you see the earth from the space station? 13. You say you would like to spread around Japanese culture. What kind of Japanese food is prepared in the spaceship? What's the most popular menu among the crew? 14. How do you cook space food? What do you do with the devices for eating after meals? 15. Do things make sounds in space? 16. How long do you sleep over there every day? 17. What is the shape of flame when you light a match in a weightless state? 18. What do you think of the stars seen from the space station as compared with the ones you see from the earth? 19. Does the moon look closer from the station? 20. Is there anything more convenient in a gravity-free state than on Earth? 21. Is there any difference between the dream you have under weightless conditions and the one above ground? 22. What has made the biggest impression on you since you have been staying in the space station? Information about the upcoming ARISS contacts can be found at http://www.ariss.org/upcoming.htm#NextContact. Next planned event(s): Riley Ave. School, Calverton, New York Tue 02 Feb 2010 17:43 UTC ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries. ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further information on the ARISS program is available on the website http://www.ariss.org/ (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada). Thank you & 73, David - AA4KN
