a Cisco Internet router (Cisco Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA) was launched into low Earth orbit onboard the UK-DMC, the disaster-monitoring satellite built by Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL, Guildford, UK). This router has since been successfully tested and demonstrated by an international government and private sector collaboration, showing how IP can be used to communicate with satellite payloads in space.
