Google translate should automatically translate when you go to the website, but below is the main info;

From October 3, 2023 to October 5, 2023, images will be transmitted from the International Space Station via the SSTV protocol as part of the "About Gagarin from Space" experiment.

The topic of the program is the first artificial Earth satellite, amateur radio satellites, school satellites.

SSTV images will be transmitted on 145.800 MHz using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver. They are expected to use the PD-120 SSTV format.

Schedule:
Start of transmission: October 03, 2023 at ~14:40 UTC.
End of transmission: October 05, 2023 at ~18:15 UTC.
Attention! Date and time may change. Stay tuned for updates on this page!

The site also has links to software for decoding and pass predictions too.

Please note the following from ROSCOSMOS.

Attention! The transmission of images via the SSTV protocol as part of the experiment "About Gagarin from Space" from the International Space Station is postponed to October 16-20, 2023 due to technical problems.

This is great news as those of us who want to take part in this and receive a certificate now have a couple more days to get their act together. Like me. It would be great to see how the SA Amateur Radio community do in this event.
