A note from the team about the recent changes to the event plan:
"Given the significance of the 68th anniversary of the launch of the world's first satellite on October 4 1957, Sputnik-1, our ARISS-Russia colleagues elected to extend out the World Space Week SSTV event to October 9 and added 6 new slides to the SSTV event. We thank our Russian team for hosting this SSTV event on the ARISS Radio
Thanks to Stanley vk3bot
Thanks so much for posting this Stan I have enjoyed receiving some of the images.
Goodonya🤓
My equipment is a Yaesu 991A and a laptop computer running Windows 11 and MSSTV. The frequency is 145.800 FM. When the satellite first appears the frequency will be 145.803-ish. The frequency will “shift” as the satellite crosses the sky to 145.796-ish.

Adding to this post:
It would appear the best passes for VK3 appear from around 2000/2100 local time.
