Occasionally, astronauts will do general contacts with hams on the ground using the Columbus voice repeater as their schedule allows. SSTV: Periodically throughout the year, we'll schedule SSTV events from the Zvezda ham radio. Details will be listed on the SSTV gallery site and announced via social media. *SSTV Gallery site is back online. Please visit the SSTV gallery site to upload images received during the Series 32 Cooperation in Space event. Note: The radios and Ham TV are sometimes turned off in support of vehicle, spacewalk, and payload activities going on aboard the space station. Those dates and times will be listed on this site and announced via social media as they are scheduled by NASA planners.
