Looks like the interest in LEO satellite operations have come down. Or is it because everyone is gearing up for the SSTV event due to start soon? I am sure that LEO Satellite WhatsApp group and many other VU WhatsApp groups will be flooded with SSTV images for the coming week. That is my past experience in the previous SSTV events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was an excellent pass of International Space Station at 6.08 pm local time, with maximum elevation of about 83 degrees in this region.
