Information Technology on the Final Frontier
Wiring the 7th Continent for Science
In cooperation with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), a
competitively selected demonstration project employing the Iridium
low-earth orbiting satellite system and the DISA Hawaii ground station
is being implemented by the Ocean.US Office. A portion of the program
involves field applications encompassing a diverse set of requirements,
applications, and marine environments. A reasonable number of Iridium
L-Band Transceivers (LBTs), i.e., Iridium data units, and accompanying
satellite telemetry time are available for distribution to the ocean
community for evaluation.
