Where are Nodes 11, 12, 13, and 14 physically located?

In the recovered telemetry dumps, Nodes 11-14 have IP/UUCP addresses that don't route through any known terrestrial ISP.
One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?

The Public Harmony Acts authorized the deployment of commercial broadcast satellites in geosynchronous orbit in 1983.

Satellite relays! That explains why the timecode delay on the Hamburg feed was exactly 240 milliseconds -- the speed of light to geostationary orbit!
