International Space Station Slow Scan TV Reception on 145.800 MHz: Expedition 66 - ARISS Series 19 - Lunar Exploration (Die Launische Diva)

International Space Station Slow Scan TV Reception on 145.800 MHz: Expedition 66 - ARISS Series 19 - Lunar Exploration

The International Space Station can be enjoyed during bright daylight or under clouds by just using the right part of the electromagnetic spectrum!

During the period of December 26 – 31 the ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) team will be supporting SSTV (Slow Scan TV) operations from the ISS. The images will be related to lunar exploration. Planned start and stop times are currently listed as:

Start: Dec 26 about 18:25 UTC
Stop: Dec 31 about 16:15 UTC

The transmissions should be available worldwide on 145.800 MHz. The planned mode is PD 120. [Source]

This is a fun project for anyone who has a portable radio capable receiving the 2-meter amateur radio band. Besides the dedicated transceivers, even a cheap software-defined radio and a whip antenna should suffice for receiving the images sent from the ISS. Use your favorite ISS passes prediction website (e.g., Heavens Above) and your SSTV decoding software and submit SSTV reception reports here.

The first image was received at 2021-12-27 08:36 UTC from my backyard using an Icom IC - R20 handheld receiver with its stock whip antenna.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
