About this record

Image: Crop of magazine reproduction of a received Mir SSTV image, including editorial overlay; not the original lossless image.

Synthetic audio: SYNTHETIC re-encoding of magazine image crop; not original radio 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.

  • Article attributes image to W9NTP and describes it as first Mir SSTV image; independent absolute first status not asserted.
  • Image is a magazine reproduction with receiver/editor-added captions; crop and page are retained for provenance.
  • Synthetic re-encoding cannot reproduce original radio reception or original image quality.
  • A visually matching W4SAT gallery image is retained as additional source evidence, without counting an additional record.
