We caught a signal from the ISS
Receiving a signal from the ISS at the S. A. Kolobov Observatory
On July 17th and 18th, at the S. A. Kolobov Observatory, we received a signal from the International Space Station in the VHF band using a homemade Yagi antenna.
From July 14th to 20th, images are being transmitted from the ISS board using the SSTV protocol.
The theme of the transmission is "50 years of the Soyuz-Apollo program and the first SSTV transmission from space".
The transmission frequency is 145.800 MHz.
Using a VHF antenna and a radio station, you can receive an audio signal from the ISS, and then analyze the sounds and decode the image.
We managed to get 3 images from space!
