Researcher looking for help for MISSE-8
Hello,
I'm an undergraduate university researcher, and have been attempting to model a data connection to the upcoming MISSE-8 platform to be installed on the ISS. To do this, I was hoping to be able to find data as to the attitude range the ISS travels through over a normal orbit. More importantly, I have been hoping to find any data as to how/if the ISS's attitudes change during non-normal orbital behavior, such as docking. I'm hoping to find a moment where the ISS's orientation to earth is changed by enough of an angle, to allow us to detect a signal.
I've had no luck finding this data on my own, and none of the contacts I've been given by the team have ever worked with such data. Is there any chance any of you individuals might be able to help? Anything that might point me in a good direction would be particularly helpful.
Thank you for your time,
ep

Hi ep,
Unfortunately I am not able to directly provide you the information that you requested, but this document published by ESA might give you a further insight concerning what you are looking for and possibly will also enable you to contact the appropriate person for further requests.
Here's the link:

Possibly it might also be interesting to specify the type of signal you intend to receive, especially the band and power used of the transmitter, this might allow others to help you further about which scenario would be required to receive the signal you are looking for.
Best Greetings,
