How do I get SSTV from ISS?

All you need to do to receive SSTV pictures direct from the space station is to connect the audio output of a scanner or amateur radio transceiver via a simple interface to the soundcard on a Windows PC or an Apple iOS device, and tune in to 145.800 MHz FM.

How do I get a ISS transmission?

What equipment do you need to hear the ISS ? Almost any 144 MHz FM rig will receive the ISS, you can even use a general coverage VHF scanner with an external antenna. As far as the antenna is concerned the simpler the better. A ¼ wave ground plane has a high angle of radiation and works well.

Can you hear the space station from Earth?

Pretty much anyone on Earth with a radio can call the International Space Station and chat with astronauts. They’re listening. The International Space Station orbits more than 200 miles above the Earth, traveling five miles per second.

How many times per second is a new frame transmitted in a fast scan NTSC television system?

How many times per second is a new frame transmitted in a fast-scan (NTSC) television system? A frame consists of 2 fields, and fields are transmitted at almost 60 times per second (NTSC field refresh frequency is 60/1.001 Hz). An entire frame is therefore transmitted 30 times per second.

What do you need to know about Mscan SSTV?

Mscan SSTV is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you receive and transmit color images in slow scan television (SSTV) mode. In addition, it supports a custom WYSIWYG screen editor that can be used while transmitting.

Which is the latest version of SSTV software?

An update of the popular MMSSTV slow-scan television (SSTV) software is now available. Eugenio Fernández, EA1ADA, has introduced YONIQ, which he calls a modern version of MMSSTV. “We are excited to finally be able to offer the entire radio community the revamped MMSSTV with the nickname YONIQ also in English,” he said.

What’s the difference between SSTV and regular scan TV?

The primary difference is that in SSTV due to bandwidth limitation, the raster size is smaller with lower effective pixel resolution and the total number of scanned lines is also fewer. The resultant SSTV picture is smaller in size with lower resolution and longer frame transmission duration.

How does slow scan TV ( SSTV ) protocol work?

The SSTV protocol also needed to restrict its bandwidth to fit into the standard SSB channel bandwidth and also be able to use a regular SSTV transceiver without modification to transmit and receive SSTV signals.
