From December 16, 2023 to December 19, 2023, images will be transmitted from the International Space Station using the SSTV protocol. The topic of the program is 40 years of the first amateur radio communication with a person in space (In 1983, astronaut Owen Garriott (W5LFL) made the first amateur radio communication with the Earth on 144 MHz). SSTV images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver. It is expected that the PD-120 SSTV format will be used.

Schedule:
Start of transmission: December 16, 2023 at ~10:15 UTC.
End of transmission: December 19, 2023.
