    good article Kevin.
    
    I hope my comments are not off the mark for this post.
    
    I read the IRIS is supplied by Cisco. I understand it uses the Ka band,
    and multiple antennas to  beam larger amounts of data to multiple
    points on earth. I don't have the knowledge to understand how one would
    monitor its outputs. Ultimately, this technology would allow satellites
    to talk back and forth (which also means directly to US military aircraft) without communicating to ground stations,
    through IP. Also of interest is that the heat sinks on the CPUs (there
    are two routers in one for redundancy) will connect directly to space
    for cooling the box, about 18x18x20 inches.
