Look closely at the Stardust relay table: there are 14 nodes, but only 10 countries listed.

One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?
Nodes 01 to 10 correspond to US, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, USSR, Brazil, and Sweden.

If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt?

Node 14 is the master clock. That's why the decoded line for Row 14 says: 'ROW 14. NO JOKE.'

When the fire broke out in B2-114, the mainframe was uploading to a satellite uplink on the roof of Orion Tower.
