ARISS "Amateur radio on Shuttle, Mir and ISS" SSTV event - June 21-26
The ARISS team will be transmitting SSTV images continuously from June 21 until June 26. The images will be related to some of the amateur radio activities that have occurred on the Space Shuttle, Mir space station and the International Space Station.
The schedule start and stop times are:
Monday, June 21 – Setup is scheduled to begin at 09:40 UTC (transmissions should start a little later).
Saturday, June 26 – Transmissions are scheduled to end by 18:30 UTC.
Downlink frequency will be 145.800 MHz and the mode should be PD120.
Those that recently missed the opportunity during the limited period of MAI transmissions should have numerous chances over the 6 day period to capture many (if not all 12) of the images.

for those of you who play SSTV the ISS will tx SSTV 9th and 10th june
See http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/2021/05/mai-75-sstv-june-9-and-10.html?m=1
for those of you who are new to the hobby
frequency is 144.8mhz, narrow FM modulation type
pass times are (not many this time)
looking at those times, the afternoon of the 9th and lunch time/early afternoon on the 10th are the best ones as it passes almost directly overhead (look at the middle column, to get a good signal and long enough you need angles above about 50 deg)
if you have a 2m radio connected to a PC for digial modes all you need is some software like
RX-SSTV
MMSSTV
Yoniq
to name a few, if not i understand there are some phone apps where you can play the sound from a baofeng or similar so your phone can hear it and decode it, ideally you need an external antenna on a handheld as the OEM antenna is not good enough
you can also use one of the cheap SDR dongles as well, but you will need additional software like virtual audio cable to take the sound out from the SDR software and feed it into the SSTV decoder software
have fun, i have attached a couple of images i recieved previously from the ISS as examples
