ARISS is planning a Slow Scan Television (SSTV) experiment from the International Space Station (ISS) on 145.800 MHz FM. It is scheduled to start on Monday, November 11, at 11:50 GMT and end Monday, November 18, at 14:10 GMT.
There will be interruptions on 18:06 GMT on Friday, November 15 and 18:17 GMT November 16, for planned school contacts over North America.
The SSTV transmissions will be made using the amateur radio station in the ISS Service Module. The transmission frequency will be 145.800 MHz (+/- 3.5 kHz Doppler shift) FM, using SSTV mode PD120.

Many FM rigs can be switched been wide and narrow deviation FM filters. For best results you should select the filter for wider deviation FM. Handhelds generally have a single wide filter fitted as standard.
The ISS callsign will be RS0ISS.
