    NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins is pictured installing the communications device – roughly the size of a cool box – outside ESA’s Columbus laboratory on 27 January 2021. Since then, the Columbus Ka-band antenna (ColKa) has supported research and operations from orbit through reliable, high-speed communications.
    🛰️ Fast downloads from space! 📶 European researchers get home broadband speeds from @Space_Station experiments thanks to the ColKa antenna. 📡 Five years on since its installation on @ESA's Columbus lab, it keeps delivering science and more. esa.int/ESA_Multimedia…

    Over 60 years ago, sci-fi writer Arthur C Clarke predicted that a medical specialist could treat someone from the distance, using satellites 🛰️ Today, this has become a reality. A dentist in the UK ran a remote dental examination to a simulated patient in Scotland, using 5G and
