ARISS (Amateur Radio on the ISS (International Space Station)) is celebrating 20years of service. To celebrate this, the Russian radio on board of the ISS is transmitting between X-mas and New year. In total 12 pictures can be downloaded each 1minute transmitting time. I'm using webSDR located in Nürnberg (Germany) and Noordwijk (Netherlands) each time the ISS is flying over.
The images were send to ARISS, Indonesian Space Explorer and Russian R4UAB which responded all by sending back Award Certificates. Really Cool
In total 13 times (24/12 till 31/12, all during early morning) I was able to make contact with the ISS. During those 13 ISS passes I could decode 25 images of which 11 out of 12 unique pictures; image 11 was very difficult to get. But even without this one, it's amazing to get this done and it's for sure addicting.
Out of the 13 ISS passes, I had twice visual which were also photographed. At those moments I was both listening and watching the ISS :)
