The Department of Defense's Iris project will put an internet router in space by the start of 2009. [...] Eventually Iris could extend the net into space, allowing data to flow directly between satellites, rather than sending it via ground stations. [...] The specially designed equipment will be developed by network specialist Cisco while the geostationary satellite, IS-14, will be built by Intelsat. [...] At the moment most satellites have to communicate with one another through ground stations or via radio signals to a relay satellite.
