>Saratoga Data Transfer Protocol

>Saratoga Protocol, developed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd to efficiently transfer remote-sensing imagery from the low-Earth-orbiting satellite Disaster Monitoring Constellation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saratoga

 

>Saratoga is a fast data transfer protocol for hop-by-hop transfers on privately-owned networks - including dedicated sensor networks and the intermittently-connected networks used for delay-tolerant networking. Saratoga is intended for private dedicated point-to-point links, where packet loss is caused by errors and corruption, not by congestion, and speed and efficiency are paramount. Saratoga was first developed at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, and has been in daily operational use for a decade to download remote-sensing imagery from the satellites built for the Disaster Monitoring Constellation. Saratoga has been developed further in cooperation with NASA Glenn Research Center. Saratoga is onboard SSTL's TechDemoSat-1.

Yes, there are a lot of Revolutionary War references around and this company is in the UK.

>DMC-1G (Disaster Monitoring Constellation - First Generation)

>The Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) is an international program initially proposed in 1996 and led by SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd), Surrey, UK, to construct a network of five affordable LEO microsatellites. The objective is to provide a daily global imaging capability at medium resolution (30-40 m), in 3-4 spectral bands, for rapid-response disaster monitoring and mitigation.

San de Fuca

>Juan de Fuca

>Ioannis Phokas (Greek: Ἰωάννης Φωκᾶς), better known by the Spanish translation of his name, Juan de Fuca (born 1536 on the Ionian island of Cefalonia; died there 1602[1][2]), was a Greek maritime pilot in the service of the King of Spain, Philip II. He is best known for his claim to have explored the Strait of Anián, now known as the Strait of Juan de Fuca, between Vancouver Island (now part of British Columbia, Canada) and the Olympic Peninsula (northwestern Washington state, United States).

 

>Because the only written evidence for Fokás's voyages lay in Lok's account—researchers being unable to find records of the expedition in Spanish colonial archives—there was long much controversy over his discovery and, indeed, whether he had ever even existed as a real person; several scholars have dismissed Juan de Fuca as entirely fictitious, and the 18th-century British explorer Captain Cook strongly doubted that the strait Fokás claimed to have discovered even existed (although Cook actually sailed past the Strait of Juan de Fuca without entering it and did stop at Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island). With later English exploration and settlement of the area, however, Fokás's claims seemed much more credible.

 

>Finally, in 1859, an American researcher, with the help of the U.S. Consul in the Ionian Islands, was able to demonstrate not only that Fokás had lived but also that his family and history were well known on the islands. While we may never know the exact truths that lay behind the account published by Lok, it must be considered unlikely that the man himself was fictional.
