ARISS is celebrating 40 years of human tended operations from space. STS-9 was the first time amateur radio was operated by a person while on orbit back in late 1983.
Track the space station to see when it is in your area!
To commemorate that beginning, an SSTV activity has been scheduled to start on Dec 16 about 10:15 UTC and run until December 19 around 18:00 UTC.
Operations will be on the standard 145.800 MHz downlink using SSTV mode PD120.

Update
December 16, 2023 — The ARISS 40th Anniversary SSTV Event is currently experiencing technical difficulties.
We have received a number of reports stating that no images have been received during passes.
The problem is being investigated and we will continue to provide updates of changes in the operation status as they occur.
**UPDATE – Dec 19**
Still nothing heard (thanks for all the reception report postings) and the event is scheduled to conclude about 18:00 UTC today. Hopefully they can resolve the issue and we can try again soon.
