Dmitry Pashkov, a leading expert of the Space-π project and a specialist at the Radiation Monitoring Laboratory of the SINP MSU, held a masterclass on communicating with small spacecraft for project participants at the Moscow education venue.
During the lecture, Dmitry explained the basics of receiving satellite signals and clearly demonstrated how to assemble an amateur radio antenna from readily available components. The session was highly practical: under the guidance of our specialist, the participants successfully received a signal in real time from a satellite passing over the center of Moscow.

Dmitry Pashkov has prepared a detailed and easy-to-follow guide for beginner radio enthusiasts on how to independently build a directional antenna operating at 430–440 MHz, which is ideal for initial experiments.
Guide for Beginner Radio Enthusiasts 🙌
All necessary materials and tools for assembly can be easily found at ordinary hardware and construction stores. The antenna component mounts are 3D-printed using ready-made models. With this antenna, you will be able to receive data from passing satellites, including spacecraft from the Space-π project.

The acquired skills can be immediately put into practice. On August 22, Russian National Flag Day, a celebratory SSTV (Slow Scan Television) image will be transmitted from the Space-π VIZARD-METEO spacecraft. This is a perfect opportunity for students and radio amateurs to test their skills in receiving data from space using our expert’s guide.
Let your antennas be precise, the airwaves clear, and may you receive the most cosmic greetings among the stellar signals! 🌟📡✨
