Capturing the Beauty of the Universe

The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest and most complex science and engineering project in history. The ISS has adopted industrial networking technology in its External Wireless Communication (EWC) system to transmit high-quality images and videos captured in outer space back to Earth.

The EWC system marks a major use of commercial off-the-shelf electronics (COTS). COTS wireless technology typically cannot withstand the harsh environments in outer space, so the ISS had to test technology from several vendors before finding the right fit.
