ISS SSTV dates ?
How often does the ISS go to SSTV mode?
I mean its fun to do the APRS thing ..
But would really love to see more of an SSTV schedule.
How much advance warning do we usually get for a sstv transmission?
And is this site the best place to find out they are going to that mode??
Thanks

NASA Sets Briefings for November Space Shuttle Mission
NASA will preview the next space shuttle mission during a series of news briefings on Friday, Oct. 16, at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA Television and the agency's Web site will broadcast the briefings live. Reporters may ask questions from participating NASA locations.
Shuttle Atlantis' 11-day mission, designated STS-129, is targeted to launch Nov. 12. The flight will include three spacewalks and the installation of two platforms to the International Space Station's truss, or backbone. The platforms will hold spare hardware to sustain station operations after the shuttle is retired. Atlantis also will return NASA astronaut Nicole Stott after spending more than two months aboard the orbiting laboratory. This is slated to be the final time a station crew member will be returned home on a space shuttle flight.
