Managed a few reasonable images from cubesat RS38S, Vizard-Meteo, as it made passes over the Metro Vancouver area. Using a fixed orientation 5 element UHF Yagi, pointing S and inclined up at 45 degrees. Using SkyRoof software from @VE3NEA, who is located near Lake ONTARIO. :)

Pretty good image captured from RS38S VIZARD-meteo as the cubesat passed near Vanouver at 1823 UTC today. 5 -element 70 cm Yagi aimed S, inclined at 45 degrees, SDRplay RSPdx tuner, SkyRoof software.

Space-πによるSSTVクエストが1月7日23時59分(UTC)まで開催中, 4枚の画像から成るパズルです.
『UMKA-1』RS40Sはともかく, 『VIZARD-METEO』RS38Sは少し電波が弱い模様でQFHアンテナでの画像取得は困難でした.

VIZARD-meteo(RS38S)をはじめ, 最近のロシアのラジオ・スプートニク系列(RS○○)のアマチュア無線衛星が, IARU周波数調整を経ていないのが非常に残念.
SatNOGSでは受信予約の設定にも制限が掛けられています.
なお, ARISSが該当衛星によるSSTVイベントを普通に実施していたりするので更に不思議.

SatNOGSでVIZARD-meteo (RS38S)がパス予報上に表示されないので何故かと思っていたのですが,
IARU周波数調整で申請された値と異なる周波数で送信を行っているのですね…

Hello radio friends,
I will be live once again with another Shortwave radio live show at 2000 UTC (3 PM EST)
Today we talk radio, satellite RS38S sending SSTV and tune the bands, chase pirates and other signals

Tricky getting the SSTV images from RS38S, aka VIZARD-Meteo. At least you can get a certificate!

All set for the transplanted ISS SSTV event using satellite RS38S, aka VIZARD-METEO, as it comes up on a Metro Vancouver pass. Tracking here in SkyRoof.

ISS SSTV event resurrected... sort of.
You have to give the Russians credit for trying after the Kenwood radio packed it in just as the recent SSTV event got underway. Satellite RS38S, aka VIZARD-METEO, will take over as a fill-in. See image for details.

Finally managed to snag some Robot36-mode images from Vizard-Meteo, aka RS38S as it passed over Vancouver moments ago. Using a cheap TV Yagi antenna, ~ $20.

One from Vizard-Meteo (RS38S) on 437.825 MHz in Robot36, and not sure about the second. Three cubesats were over Vancouver more or less simultaneously around 0445 UTC. TV antenna. #SSTV from space.
