Results ARISS SSTV Exp 65 event June 21 - 27

The ARISS SSTV "expedition 65" event scheduled between June 21 and June 27 did result in receiving 8 images out of 12. The images reflected past activities on the ISS, MIR and Space Shuttle.

Setting : using Websdr from both Noordwijk (Nl) as Nürnberg (D) and software MMSSTV. 

Results : I was able to receive  8/12 pictures from the ISS. Quality was always poor when comparing with the X-mas event 2020. The reason of the poor quality could be either low orbits of the ISS station and noise due to submitting signals from other sources (signals at 145780Hz and 145820Hz). 

Conclusion: still fun and unique to receive images from the International Space Station.

MAI75 Expedition 65 June 9 & 10 : Results and Certificate

 

On June 9 & 10, MAI 75 expedition 65 SSTV took place. I used the 70m Nurberg WebSDR on June 10. Max height of the passing ISS was good, but even then the receiving was poor. I submitted my best picture to the Indonesian Space Explorer which recognized my submission with a certificate.
