On Saturday night, the International Space Station sent me a picture. They sent the picture to a bunch of other people, too, so it wasn’t personal. The big thing about this, is that it’s the first ever SSTV image that I’ve been able to receive from the ISS.
I know that it’s not the clearest image, by far, but the ISS was about 15 degrees above the horizon, in the southwest, when I received it.
The thing that I found really strange is that I started receiving their signal about 1:30 (one minute and thirty seconds) before it came over the horizon, and continued to hear it for about 1:30 after it went back below the horizon.
I hope to get some better images, in the future. Thanks to Jason (KC0GCG), the settings on the software that I use for tracking are now correct, and I won’t be missing most of the ISS passes.
