"The 'Columbus Ka-band Terminal' (COLKa) will bring 'home broadband' speeds of up to 50 Megabits per second to the space station, revolutionizing communication capabilities."
"The upgrade will ensure faster communications, independent from the NASA system, allowing scientists from the UK and Europe to access their experimental results more efficiently."
The Columbus Ka-band Terminal (COLKa) will provide astronauts on the ISS with broadband speeds of up to 50Mbps. This device, designed by MDA Space and Robotics Limited, is the first British industrial contribution to the ISS. It will be sent via a Cygnus supply ship and installed outside the Columbus module. The upgrade will allow for faster communications independent of NASA's system, enabling better access to experimental data for scientists in the UK and Europe.
