Image: Published received Mir SSTV image.
Synthetic audio: SYNTHETIC re-encoding of a received image; not original off-air recording.
The synthetic audio is a modern re-encoding of the received image. It is not the original radio recording, and its mode does not establish the historical transmission mode.
- Published source image is a received Mir SSTV picture; synthetic audio does not reproduce the original radio reception.
- Images may depict repeated scene or alternate processing; record counts are images, not necessarily independent space transmissions.
- Do not convert to a guessed date: 28 February was Sunday in 1999 and Saturday in 1998. Earlier AVT SSTV from Mir is documented by January 1996, so 1998 cannot be excluded on SSTV history alone.
- 145.985 MHz is the documented nominal Mir SSTV downlink; it is not independently verified for this individual frame.
- Correction 2026-10-31: a 1996 magazine documents earlier AVT SSTV; December 1998 denotes later MAREX system activation, not first Mir SSTV of all types.
