The Internet Protocol (IP) Routing in Space (IRIS) was developed by an industry group, under the auspices of the DoD, as a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD). The primary goal of the IRIS JCTD was to assess the network capability and operational utility of an IP router in space. The capstone demonstrations using the on-orbit IRIS capability onboard a commercial satellite (Intelsat 14) were completed in March and April 2010. These demonstrations were preceded by a series of technical and operational demonstrations, conducted during the prior 3 years, using simulated and prototype-based surrogate capabilities in preparation for the final on-orbit demonstrations. This article describes the capabilities of the IRIS network and presents the highlights of the on-orbit demonstrations, along with key results and findings.
