BBC: Net reaches out to final frontier - A programme to kick-start the use of internet communications in space has been announced by the US government.
Excerpt:
"The Department of Defense's Iris project will put an internet router in space by the start of 2009.
It will allow voice, video and data communications for US troops using standards developed for the internet.
Eventually Iris could extend the net into space, allowing data to flow directly between satellites, rather than sending it via ground stations."
