The malfunctioning Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) “HamTV”
transmitter now is back on Earth for repair or replacement,
and it likely won’t be until sometime in 2020 at the
earliest that Amateur Radio TV (DATV) capability will
be restored to the orbiting laboratory. Onboard repair
was not possible. Whether the design error of the wrong
VPID will be fixed too is questionable. In order to
bring back the unit to the ISS as quick as possibly
without a complete re-qualification only minor changes
must be made to the unit. In any case it is not expected
to have the unit back operational before 2020. |

FRAM2HAM
#63427 |
FRAM2 is
be the first polar-orbit human spaceflight mission to
explore Earth. The Crew-Dragon-Spaceship was launched
by a falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center into
a circular orbit with a height of 438km and an inclination
of 90°, making it the first human spaceflight to
fly over Earth’s polar regions from low-Earth orbit.
The
North and South Poles are invisible to astronauts on
the International Space Station, as well as to all previous
human spaceflight missions, except for the Apollo lunar
missions but only from far away. To date, the highest
inclination achieved by human spaceflight has been the
Soviet Vostok 6 mission, at 65°. This new flight
trajectory will unlock new possibilities for human spaceflight.
Mrs.
Rabea Rogge is a German robotics researcher from Berlin,
currently pursuing her PhD in Norway. She has always
been fascinated by extreme environments, studying them
to understand the limits of our world — and to push
beyond them. Her work includes leading a satellite mission
and researching ocean robotics in the Arctic, reflecting
her commitment to advancing technology in both polar
regions and space. Mrs. Rogge is the first German astronaut! |

On April
1st 2025 at 07:33 UTC Rabea,

with Technical University Berlin DK0TU. Due to some
issues Rabea could only answer two questions from the
students at DK0TU. Received and recorded in FM on 437.550MHz

During the morning passes here in Europe I received
the SSTV downlink signal from FRAM2HAM on April 2nd
2025 at 06:53 UTC and 08:19 UTC in FM on 437.550MHz
using ROBOT36 format. There were 12 different pictures
transmitted which could be combined  to
three mosaic posters showing Weddelmeer in Antarctica
and Svalbard as well as Franz Josef Land in Arctica.
You can see those full mosaics when clicking on the

15.
Do you play Board Games on the ISS? Which ones?
16.
What’s the most difficult challenge you’ve faced while
living on the space station?
As
the contact went very smooth the scouts were able to
get some bonus questions answered. Received
on 145.800 MHz in FM and recorded by DD1US.
For
many years this was the first time the DATV transmitter
was used and the Scouts could watch the astronaut live
while they were talking to him. I received the downlink
