The geographic math of Project Stardust doesn't add up.

One routing path lists: 'cascade!transat!orbit-01!stardust'. Orbit-01? Are four of the relay nodes located on satellites?
Nodes 11 through 14 have blank regional pressing entries in the Ashford Poly archives.

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

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