Never mind what prime-time TV has to offer - hams who have been missing a chance to make contacts through HamTV will have something to celebrate soon. HamTV was the Digital Amateur Television transmitter operating on the Columbus module of the ISS until failure took it out of service in 2019.
Its repairs here on earth were completed and the newly invigorated HamTV was returned to the ISS via SpaceX CRS-30 in March of 2024. ARISS reports that astronauts will complete its reinstallation in late June in preparation for more contacts with schools around the world. HamTV uses the DVB-S protocol in the 13 cm band to transmit digital video and audio in MPG2 format.
ARISS has high hopes that HamTV will become a long-running series -- without having to resort to re-runs.
