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? If Nodes 11-14 are in orbit, who is maintaining the transmitters now that Orion is bankrupt? -- Jens Dubois -- Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
