RIP: David Mills

In 1977, Mills began working at #COMSAT.

There he worked on synchronizing the clocks of computers connected to #ARPANET, inventing the Network Time Protocol. #NTP

He told The New Yorker in 2022 that he enjoyed working on synchronized time because no one else was working on it, giving him his own "little fief".

In the mid-2000s, Mills turned over full control of the NTP reference implementation to Harlan Stenn.

Mills was the chairman of the Gateway Algorithms and Data Structures Task Force ( #GADS ) and the first chairman of the Internet Architecture Task Force.

He invented the DEC LSI-11 based #Fuzzball router that was used for the 56 kbit/s NSFNET (1985), inspired the author of #ping for BSD (1983), and had the first #FTP implementation. He authored numerous #RFCs.

The modern #AtlasV #rocket, designed by #LockheedMarting and operated by the United Launch Alliance or #ULA, has been called the #DialARocket for its ability to add capacity by adding solid rocket boosters like increasing steps on a #dial.
The “Dial” next goes up to 3 with the #Atlas V 431, with a 4 meter fairing, 3 #SRBs, and 1 engine on the #Centaur upper stage.
The private #comsat #EchostarXIX launched to #geostationary #orbit on a ULA Atlas V 431.
This #photograph shows it rising over the #dune at #PlayalindaBeach.

A #photograph of a United Launch Alliance #ULA #AtlasV #rocket, in its 401 configuration, ascending into the blue #Florida sky.
This Atlas V, with its 4 meter fairing, no solid rocket boosters, and a single #RL10 #engine on this #Centaur upper stage, is carrying a #Quasar #comsat for the National Reconnaissance Office #NRO. Quasar is believed to be the name for a network of communication #satellites that allow the NRO to maintain constant contact with its #spysats and #downlink data and #uplink tasks continuously.
The system has satellites in both #geostationary and #Molniya #orbits.
