Tim Peake Spacewalk

[mapperuo]

For those who like to follow spacewalks, especially with our British astronaut tim peake.

It will be on 12.5w tomorrow, Spacewalk is due to begin around 11:55 UTC.


Eutelsat 12WestB (ex AB1) at 12.5degW
Transponder B2 Channel H – D/l freq:11023.17 MHz Polarisation Y
Signal: HD 1080i/50 MPEG4 4:2:0 (H264) clear, SR: 7.500 FEC: 5/6 Mod: DVB-S2/8PSK
Audio PIDs open/mono. Data rate: 20.094 Mb/s S/N for operation: 13.5 dB

This is ESA coverage right, had the email myself this morning.

NASA TV coverage in 720p on YouTube:

It is ESA coverage but it will just be a refeed of NASA TV probably. Same outdoor cameras anyway.

Are these parameters working for anyone? I've got nothing here. Strong signal on other transponder (12583H) on that sat.
I've tried both H and V polarisation as I do not know what "Y" means

not working

Supposed to start in a minute or so.

I've just done a blindscan on this sat and still no sign of the ESA feed.

However, I did find the feed for the live Joburg golf which is FTA
11455H, 7200, 3/4, S2 -8PSK

Yeh dont know whats happened, Just going off of the ESA email. Guess they have had issues

This not the first time ESA has published wrong details the day before, glad its been found.

Happy glancing at the coverage on YouTube on the big TV via Chromecast.

Ive been told its on 22W at 11573 H but wasnt told the SR and I dont have access to a blind scanner ATM. Its on Reuters also on 22w.

Found it "TV2GO HD"
22W
11572H
7499
5/6
S2 8PSK

Very good video bitrate ~16500 Kbits/s.

EDIT
The same feed is also available encrypted in PowerVu on "INS Europe International Newsource"
22W 11563H 6111 3/4 S QPSK
but the video bitrate is only ~6900Kbits/s

Surely he would be back inside the hatch by now if he went out in the morning. Or has Captain Oates volunteered ?

It is a 6.5 hour spacewalk and youtube is a good place to watch it if your motorised unit is now fixed on one satellite
