Terrestrial ISS SpaceCam1 SSTV Test
Hi all
In anticipation of the tentatively planed SSTV broadcast from the
International Space Station during the upcoming Garriott mission, I have set
up a simulated ISS SSTV FM SSTV beacon.
During evening hours this week, ill be transmitting SSTV images using the same
type of hardware and software they have available on ISS for the SpaceCam SSTV
project.
The station consists of the following:
Kenwood TM-D700 dual band transceiver (same module that is on ISS)
The ARISS developed VOX box that connects between the PC and the D700
SpaceCam1 Marex SSTV imaging software package (same software that?s on ISS)
If you are in the New England area or along the Atlantic coast, try listening
for the SSTV signals on 147.570 FM, using the SSTV format Robot-35.
The Antenna system is a 12-dBd gain and will be pointing from Lowell
Massachusetts down the Atlantic coast.
Please send signal reports to Marex at SSTV(AT)ISSSPACECAM.ORG
How to work SSTV on ISS

If you do not have a tracking program, here is a live link to NASA that will
show you where ISS is located.

As a suggestion Miles instead of beaming towards the Atlantic you can beam to
the North in direction of Deerfield NH. It will be the The
New England Amateur Radio Festival - NEAR-Fest October 10-11 and it's about 30
miles in line of sight from your QTH. I don't know the exact
topography of the region but i guess some mountains can be in the path?

Frank is going to post more comprehensive information very soon, Al.
Garriott has an *extremely* busy schedule while he is on orbit. He
wants to do general QSOs, as time permits.
The plan is for SSTV to be downlink only.
He may use his W5KWQ callsign for some activities, such as SSTV, and the
other ISS callsigns will be used for the school events.

Hi all,
Delfi-C3 / DO-64 has now been in orbit for 164 days, and we regularly
command the satellite back to BPSK telemetry mode during passes over
our groundstation, after which the satellite reboots in linear
transponder mode after the next eclipse. Since the satellite does not
transmit any telemetry when in transponder mode, switching to BPSK
telemetry mode allows us to monitor housekeeping values and hence
assess satellite health.
Since we would like to gather longer datasets of housekeeping
telemetry, we will switch the satellite permanently to BPSK telemetry
mode during the coming days, i.e. the satellite will boot in this mode
after every eclipse. Our first opportunity is at approx. 10:00 UTC on
Oct. 9th (today), switching may take a couple of passes due to the
command sequence which is required to set this mode. We will switch
the satellite to "basic mode" in which an AX.25 frame containing
housekeeping telemetry is transmitted approx once every 4-5 secs, the
rest of the transmission is filled with idle flags. Downlink frequency
for this mode will be 145.930MHz, modulation is 1200bit/s BPSK.
Telemetry can be captured using the RASCAL software and forwarded to
our central servers just like during the first three months of science
mission, this would be greatly appreciated by the team.
At this moment, we do not know how long the satellite will be in this
mode, but it will at least be a couple of weeks. We'll keep you
informed on both our mission operations page at
http://www.delfic3.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=122
and via the AMSAT-BB.

I can strongly recommend BBC BASIC for Windows.
For many years I have been using this software for all new applications.
The language is very powerful, with a very wide range of built-in
functions, including access to MS Windows routines such as the API, DDE
and COM/OLE. Assembler code is also supported. It is possible to write
programs with a simple command line, type of user interface or with a
Windows style graphical interface. Programs can be run in interpreted
mode or compiled as stand-alone programs.
The program contains an excellent help feature, covering the instruction
set. This includes short code segments, which may be copied & pasted into
your code. There is also a useful library of demonstration programs
showing a wide range of possible applications, and a beginner's tutorial.
In addition to the built-in help feature, there is a useful on-line WIKI
http://bb4w.wikispaces.com .
Further support is provided on-line by an active Yahoo discussion group
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bb4w . The groups website also contains
many program files & tutorials submitted by members.
The author, Richard G4BAU, provides an unprecedented level of support
for his software,
directly by e-mail or via the BB4W Yahoo discussion group. A recent example
of this level of support was the response to a request about interfacing
to the DDE interface of SAT_EXPLORER. Richard very kindly wrote the code
segment for me, and even tested it with the tracking program.
BBC BASIC for Windows is available from Richard's website
www.rtrussell.co.uk. The program costs 30 GBP, but a free
trial version can be downloaded. This has all the features of the full
program, except the compiler, and it is limited to short programs. Please
note that I have no commercial interest in this software, other than being
a very satisfied user.
Recently I have been using the PICAXE range of micro controllers. They
are available as 8, 18,28 & 40 pin devices. IMHO these wouldn't be
suitable for Alan's requirement. The BASIC language (free download from
PICAXE website) is very restricted in features, and for many tasks
offers little more than assembler code. AFAIK it doesn't include
floating point routines. However, it does include 'easy to use' routines
for communicating with a wide range of peripherals, such as I/O ports,
serial ports, single wire buses and the I2C bus.
You don't need a special programmer for the PICAXE, as only three
resistors are needed to connect to a serial port. However, a useful
experiments board is available from the distributers, which includes
these resistors, and various simple I/O devices.
In the past I've used microcontrollers such as the popular 16F8, and
found them to be very critical on hardware and lead length for
programming. I've never had any problems with the PICAXE.
Adding a PIXAXE to a PC running BBC BASIC for Windows produces a very
powerful and versatile combination.

Hi all,
we have been unable to complete the command sequence for switching
back to telemetry mode during the pass of 10:00 UTC today, our next
opportunity is Monday Oct. 13th around 09:45 UTC, so stay tuned! In
the meantime, Delfi-C3 will continue to operate in transponder mode.

All,
The ARISS team has a lot of exciting activities planned for the next few
weeks, including the flight of Soyuz 17S to space station with Richard
Garriott, W5KWQ and Mike Fincke, KE5AIT on-board. The following represents
some new information and capabilities that we are rolling out to the
community to prepare for Richard's and Mike's flight. Please go to
www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, www.arrl.org and www.issfanclub.com for
real-time information updates.
73, Frank Bauer, KA3HDO
AMSAT-NA V.P. for Human Spaceflight Programs
ARISS International Chairman
The ARISS SSTV team announces the new ARISS SSTV Web Gallery and Blog.
A website has been established to enable amateur radio operators to share
their pictures received from the International Space Station's SSTV system.
People wishing to view photos captured from the ISS or upload their own
captured pictures can go to http://www.amsat.com/ARISS_SSTV/. There is also
a blog in which the ARISS SSTV Team will post announcements and additional
information about the project. The blog can be viewed at
http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/.
To prepare for the upcoming SSTV operations, you are welcome to "try out"
the new Web Gallery by posting past SSTV images (on-orbit and terrestrial).
These will be deleted prior to the ARISS SSTV events that are planned for
this weekend and during ISS Expedition 17 and Richard Garriott's flight (see
below).
ISS SSTV Operations Planned for October 12
The ARISS team received word from ARISS Russia delegate Sergey Samburov,
RV3DR, that the current ISS crew expect to transmit SSTV on October 12 from
18:00-21:00 UTC. This is your opportunity to test out your SSTV reception
capability and to post images on the ARISS SSTV Gallery. The planned
downlink for this operation will be 145.80 MHz with Robot 36 as the expected
SSTV mode of operation.
AO-51 Special SSTV Mode
Thanks to Drew, KO4MA, AMSAT-NA VP for Operations, this weekend AO-51 will
operate in a special mode in anticipation of Richard Garriott's visit to the
ISS. Richard's launch is currently scheduled for October 12th, with docking
at the ISS on the 14th. Richard plans on being very active from the ISS ham

be configured with an uplink on 1268.700 FM and downlink of 435.300 FM, and
will be designated for this period as an SSTV repeater. Users are encouraged
to exchange SSTV images in ROBOT 36 mode, as an opportunity for others to
practice receiving SSTV images from space before the ISS activity. Please
keep the images transmitted to space-related themes, and to the ROBOT 36
mode. Polite and courteous operation among those sharing the uplink is
crucial to the success of this mode.
Concurrently, there will be a QRP voice repeater running on 145.880 FM
uplink and 435.150 FM downlink. Users are asked to use 10 watts or less, and
omnidirectional or handheld antennas only.
Good luck receiving SSTV images this weekend, and from the ISS during
Richard Garriott's flight.
Richard Garriott Operations
As stated previously, Richard plans to perform several school contacts and
downlink SSTV images during his flight. He also plans to contact the
general ham community in his free time and perform random scout contacts
during Jamboree on the Air. SSTV downlinks are planned on 145.80. SSTV
uplinks are not currently planned. The standard general contact frequencies
will be used to support the Jamboree on the Air and general QSO passes.
So that you are not calling CQ for naught, Richard's school contacts, thanks
to Will Marchant, KC6ROL, Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, and Sergey Samburov, RV3DR,
are tentatively scheduled as follows:
Challenger Learning Center Combined Contact #1,

Terrestrial ISS SpaceCam1 SSTV Test
Hi all
In anticipation of the tentatively planed SSTV broadcast from the
International Space Station during the upcoming Garriott mission, I have set
up a simulated ISS SSTV FM SSTV beacon.
During evening hours this week, ill be transmitting SSTV images using the
same type of hardware and software they have available on ISS for the
SpaceCam SSTV project.
The station consists of the following:
Kenwood TM-D700 dual band transceiver (same module that is on ISS)
The ARISS developed VOX box that connects between the PC and the D700
SpaceCam1 Marex SSTV imaging software package (same software that's on ISS)
If you are in the New England area or along the Atlantic coast, try
listening for the SSTV signals on 147.570 FM, using the SSTV format
Robot-35.
The Antenna system is a 12-dBd gain and will be pointing from Lowell
Massachusetts down the Atlantic coast.
Please send signal reports to Marex at SSTV(AT)ISSSPACECAM.ORG

If you do not have a tracking program, here is a live link to NASA that will
show you where ISS is located.

There is no Robot 35, it should be Robot 36.
