    Many times a school may make a last minute decision to do a Livestream or
    run into a last minute glitch requiring a change of the URL but we at ARISS
    may not get the URL in time for publication. You can always check https://live.ariss.org/ to see if a school is Livestreaming.

    As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
    are turned off as part of the safety protocol.

    The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
    437.800 MHz down), If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do
    is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.

    Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
    orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
    time.

    The latest information on the operation mode can be found at https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html

    The latest list of frequencies in use can be found at https://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html

    The current SSTV event ends Sunday, January 5 at 14:20 UTC. As always,
    radio enthusiasts around the world are invited to downlink the images at 145.800 MHz +/- 3 KHz Doppler shift and the transmission mode is PD 120.
    The images downlinked will follow the theme “Celebrating ARISS 2024” and as usual, there will be 12 images transmitted sequentially throughout the
    event. Those taking part in the event are encouraged to post their received images at our ARISS SSTV Gallery found at https://ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/ and also apply for an award certificate at the sit
