    Hi Lloyd:

    Possibly the first commanding of an in-flight spacecraft operating as a
    node on the Internet (with its own IP address) was done over six years ago
    (January 1996) from Eric Travis's bedroom in Rockville, MD., to STRV-1b in
    geostationary transfer orbit, using SCPS:

    Since then the SCPS protocol suite http://www.scps.org has been finished
    and is being commercially deployed, e.g.:
