Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between
amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with
astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. The
downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide.
ARISS school contacts are currently planned to resume the week of
2025-01-13 to 2025-01-19.
The current SSTV event ends Sunday, January 5 at 14:20 UTC. As always,
radio enthusiasts around the world are invited to downlink the images at
145.800 MHz +/- 3 KHz Doppler shift and the transmission mode is PD 120.
The images downlinked will follow the theme “Celebrating ARISS 2024” and as
usual, there will be 12 images transmitted sequentially throughout the
event. Those taking part in the event are encouraged to post their received
images at our ARISS SSTV Gallery found at https://ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/ and
also apply for an award certificate at the sit
Many times a school may make a last minute decision to do a Livestream or
run into a last minute glitch requiring a change of the URL but we at ARISS
may not get the URL in time for publication. You can always check
https://live.ariss.org/ to see if a school is Livestreaming.
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down), If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do
is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.
