On November 12, 2011 at 1908 Z my son Jeff, KB8VCO and I were successful in
transmitting a picture and receiving back an image via the
ARISSat-1/RADIOSKAF-V transponder.
Separate MMSSTV software setups on 2 computers with mode Robot 36 were used to
Tx 435.750 LSB up and Rx 145.930 MHz
Also, the Thunderbird Amateur Radio Club will be operating a special event
station for the Arizona Centennial as well the weekend of Feb 11-12, 2012.
I believe our SE call will be W7A. I'll be operating on as many FM passes as
possible during the event.

Hi Farrell,
great post and congratulations.
I am currently having fun with the 1000BPSK telemetry.
Next experinment will be a QSO through the transponder.
Its good to have a satellite that presents a few challenges.
I echo your thanks to the entire ARISSat team.

That is good to hear Clint.
What we need is exactly what EMike requested:
With ARISSat-1's main mission being Educational I would like to hear about
people's experiences with
schools in using ARISSat-1 as a teaching tool, in class demonstration, data
collection, etc.
I am especially interested
Doesn't anyone on the board of AMSAT talk to anyone at ARISS?
When submitting an application for an ARISS contact recently, curriculum was
established for our students. It was part of the application process ... Which
means there are literally HUNDREDS of classroom projects/topics in the ARISS
Hi Gould / Clint
I think the problem may be that instead of an approach where an amateur
satellite promotes amateur radio via the science of satellites, most educators
really need an amateur radio satellite to be a resource which can be used to
teach the usual syllabus but in a more

By the way, once I got MMSTV loaded I decided to just park it on 14.230 MHz all
day long and watch the SSTV images come rolling in. I have been watching them
Of course we do.
The request is for using the ARISSat-1 satellite in classrooms not ARISS.

YES - But aren't lesson plans on these topics transferable to 'bout any
similar project?
-Becoming amateur radio-literate
-RDF, Doppler, line of sight projects
-Learning the geography of Earth via QSL cards

Clint,
Thank you for your response. Let me clarify. At least for now, I am NOT looking
for information is ARISS contacts, but rather with how educators have used
ARISSat-1 in the classroom. That said I would be be glad to here from or about
teachers and principals who got behind the ARRISSat-1
Bob,
It is just you. ;) Seriously, I do the same thing, and 3 out of 4 are good
pictures, perhaps 1 in 5 outstanding. I do use Ham Radio Deluxe, which has
a few nice tricks such as automatic slant correction. A suggestion is to
calibrate the sound card clock. Many are significantly off. Not
Hi Bob,
I also have put MMSSTV on 14.230 and most
of the images look great with a handful
that are terrific. I am not using anything
fancy just a 15' whip and an FT-847.
Maybe the noise level is really high there?

Being an ARISS ops team member myself I think it's important to realize that
the AMSAT folks attend the ARISS-I meeting which is the international telecon.
The ARISS ops team meets weekly on Wednesday afternoon and we are the group
responsible for the hands on assistance of schools making ISS
Please a link to these ARISS archives for review?

What do you need?
I have copied and worked LOTS of SSTV stations on 20
meters. And some were not all that strong. There is a lot of QRM,
doubling, people talking on SSB, etc etc on 14.230.
We also did some SSTV on AO-51 a while back and I got some
good pictures there, too.
Here are a couple of 20M ones
