Amateur Radio SSTV pictures from Space Station

The ARISS-SSTV Gallery has now started to show pictures received from around the world of the test images being sent by the ISS.

They can be seen at

Images received from the AO-51 testing can be uploaded, but they will not be shown on the gallery.


The ISS SSTV pictures are transmitted on 145.800 MHz FM. They should be receivable on an Amateur Radio 2 metre handheld or a scanner radio connected to an external quarter wave groundplane or discone antenna. If your radio has different filter settings for 12.5 kHz and 25 kHz FM then select the 25 kHz filter for best results.
