SSTV Video from the International Space Station

This SSTV video in Robot 36 format was transmitted by Richard Garriott onboard the International Space Station. It was received in NJ on Thursday October 16, 2008 at 13:45 UTC on a frequency of 145.800 MHz FM.

The image was decoded using QSSTV software, and shows a view out the ISS window. The audio that follows is of Richard making several two-way audio contacts with Amateur Radio operators in Southeastern Canada and Northeastern United States.

(Try doing THAT on your cellphone!)

Audio recording and image dissection was performed using Linux-based software of my own design. MPEG encoding was performed using MEncoder.
