SSTV: slow scan tv
Sending low resolution pictures very slowly (90s transmisison per pic) using frequency modulated analog signals at low bandwidth. This needs to be picked up ourselves with a hand held radio and decoding using a phone app or a computer program. This is a ONE WAY comms method (from balloon to ground ONLY).
APRS: automated packet reporting system
Sending data, position, atltiude, callsign, to receive stations all around the world. This is a low bandwidth DIGITAL signal that is frequency modulated. No need to pick up ourselves, will be automatically uploaded to aprs.fi. This is a ONE WAY comms method (from balloon to ground ONLY).
ATV: amateur TV
Can be digital or analog (in our case it is analog), amplitude modulated signals, extremely high bandwidth (several MHz), live stream television. Need old huge TV for receiver. This is a ONE WAY comms method (from balloon to ground ONLY).
