Slow Scan TV from ISS planned for October 2008
----------------------------------------------
Miles Mann WF1F has news of planned Amateur Radio Slow Scan TV transmissions from the
International Space Station in October when Richard Garriott W5KWQ arrives at the station.
"I have recently returned from the ARISS meeting in Moscow (August 2008). During the
meeting we received details on Richard Garriott's upcoming mission. Below is a joint memo
from ARISS regarding Garriott's mission:
On Oct 12, 2008, Space flight participant Richard Garriott will launch from the Baikonur
Cosmodrome on his way to the International Space Station. After docking with the ISS on
Oct 14, he will spend 9 days conducting experiments and doing extensive photography of the
Earth.
Since he is also a licensed amateur radio operator W5KWQ, he will be making several school
contacts, talking with operators on the ground and transmitting Slow Scan Television images.
The standard downlink of 145.800 will be used for voice contacts, school contacts and SSTV
transmissions. Anyone with a FM receiver capable of monitoring the 145.800 MHz downlink can
receive audio and SSTV images.
The best image received for a given time period will be posted to http://www.issspacecam.org/
and http://www.marexmg.org

ISS gets a new TM-700 transceiver and VC-H1
-------------------------------------------
There are tentative plans to fly the backup spare Kenwood TM-700 from Russia to the
International Space Station on this month's September 9th Progress-30 cargo rocket.
The current Kenwood D700 on ISS has been in space since August 2003 and in Powered-On service
since December 2003.
In anticipation of Richard Garriott, W5KWQ's upcoming mission in October 2008, the Russian team
decided to fly the spare D700 along with a complete set of cables and computer interface VOX box
into space. In addition to the D700, there are also plans to fly the Kenwood VC-H1 SSTV image
communicator.
Richard Garriott, the legendary video game programmer and designer, noted as one of the PC Gamer’s
“Game Gods”, will be traveling to orbit in Fall 2008. In doing so he will become Earth's sixth
private citizen to conduct a space mission aboard the International Space Station as a client of
Space Adventures.
