   ARLS006 Slow-Scan TV Transmissions from ISS Scheduled for April 11   
      
   Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has   
   announced that slow-scan television (SSTV) transmissions are planned   
   for Cosmonautics Day, Saturday, April 11 from RS0ISS in the ISS   
   Russian sector.   
      
   Cosmonautics Day celebrates space pioneer Yuri Gagarin's April 12,   
   1961, as the first human to reach space.   
      
   The SSTV event will get under way at on April 11, 1000 UTC on   
   145.800 MHZ and continue until 2130 UTC. All transmissions will use   
   SSTV mode PD180. If similar to prior SSTV events, 12 different   
   photos will be sent through the weekend with 3 minute off periods   
   between transmissions.   
      
   Receiving the SSTV images requires a 2 meter receiver/transceiver   
   and a PC to convert the audio to an image. Software such as MMSSTV   
   is available free on the Internet. Received images may be uploaded   
   and viewed at the ARISS Image Gallery at,   
   http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/submit.php .   
      
   Unanticipated events on board the ISS may cause any scheduled ham   
   radio event to be postponed or cancelled. Check the ARISS Facebook   
   page for updates.
