> I’m both very surprised and somehow not at all surprised that there is Wi-Fi on a spacecraft! > According to a linked page the Wi-Fi is for cameras installed on the ends of the solar arrays I assume it is also for the astronauts? With WiFi they can use tablets without a cable, for accessing procedure manuals, recreation, video calls with family, etc. Possibly, the WiFi is primarily for the astronauts, and using it for these cameras was simply "given it is there, it is the easiest way to connect them".
