Space Cam - comments invited
reposted from the LiveScannerAudio list
--------------------------------- Hi All, Slightly Off topic: I am building a satellite project that will send JPG images from the International Space Station. The project is called SpaceCam and it will send 480 images from orbit each day. I am interested to know, if there is much interest in the Scanner listening community to listen to and decode these images. ISS Setup: The transmitter from the Space station should be strong enough for people with a scanner and a basic outside antenna to hear and decode some of the images. The system on ISS will be transmitting at 5 or 10 watts in standard 5k deviation FM, into a 0 dBd antenna system. ISS will be in range 8-10 minutes per orbit, for up to 6-7 orbits (passes) per day. The frequency will most likely be 145.800 MHz FM (this may change) What you will need: A receiver that can support 145.800 MHz range. Outside antenna (0 dBd or better, or a small beam 4 element works good) Also a PC running one of the many Share ware SSTV decoders. What you will get: The plan is to send 1 JPG from ISS every 3 minutes. With a good antenna you should be able to receive up to 3 images per orbit / pass. The images will be small JPG's aprox 50k. The selection will be what ever the Space Station crew puts in the down link folder. We may have the option in the future for LIVE stills. Questions: Is a project like this of interest to the majority of the scanner listeners? If we moved the frequency from (2-meter band) 145.xxx MHz to (10- meter band) 29.xxx MHz, would most people still be able to monitor the frequency. Which band would you prefer?
