Between the 5th -12th May, there was a special ARISS/Russia SSTV expedition celebrating Victory Day on May 9, representing the victory of the Soviet Union over Germany in WWII.
Conditions were challenging with the timing of the SSTV transmission intervals often resulting in being only able to receive one complete image in the 9-11min AOS window, rather than being comfortably able to comfortably receive two images. The image above was the only 100% copy I received, with all other images experiencing some form of signal fade.
The other big challenge was that due to a quirk in choice of twelve images, it can be particularly difficult to get a copy of all 12, and quite often you get many of the same. During the event I ended up collecting 3 of image numbers #1,#2, #10, two images of #12, #3 and a single image of the remaining images.
Thanks to Karn E20ZFD, who often makes these fantastic backgrounds for people to collect and share their images from SSTV Events. Do click on the Image to enlarge!
