SSTV from the ISS in April

The word on the street (twittersphere) is that the ISS will be broadcasting SSTV from the 11 to 14 April. This is in celebration of Cosmonautics day/Yuri's Night

Next ARISS SSTV Event 11 to 14 April 2019, 145.800MHz

Yuri's Night is an international celebration held every April 12 to commemorate milestones in space exploration.  Yuri's Night is named for the first human to launch into space, Yuri Gagarin, who flew the Vostok 1 spaceship on April 12, 1961. The launch of STS-1, the first Space Shuttle mission, is also honored, as it was launched 20 years to the day of Vostok 1 on April 12, 1981. source Wikipedia
