The malfunctioning Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) “HamTV”
transmitter now is back on Earth for repair or replacement,
and it likely won’t be until sometime in 2020 at the
earliest that Amateur Radio TV (DATV) capability will
be restored to the orbiting laboratory. Onboard repair
was not possible. Whether the design error of the wrong
VPID will be fixed too is questionable. In order to
bring back the unit to the ISS as quick as possibly
without a complete re-qualification only minor changes
must be made to the unit. In any case it is not expected
to have the unit back operational before 2020. |
