Original Post Information
SSTV Series 30: Scrubbed
The ARISS Radio in the Service Module used for SSTV is being taken out of service.
ARISS SSTV Series 30 started Wednesday 12 November and sent images for about 2 hours before an issue occurred with the radio. Therefore, SSTV Series 30 has ended.
Certificates will be available for those capturing the early images if they are uploaded to ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV by 23:59 UTC on Tuesday 18 November 2025
Teams will determine when the next event will occur after additional troubleshooting takes place. The SSTV radio will currently only transmit for 4 seconds at a time. A backup radio, not configured for SSTV, will be put in place to serve several Russian STEM contacts this week.
