	Stargate Command - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Stargate Command (abbreviated to SGC), is a fictional top-secret military base tasked with operating the Stargate device and all matters pertaining to things offworld, such as threats to Earth or missions to procure new technology from extraterrestrial civilisations, in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1.
		Jackson intuited that the strange symbols around the Stargate device were actually representations of constellations (rather than hieroglyphs), and that the device could 'dial' another Stargate by 'locking' seven (or, much later, up to nine) of its chevrons onto these symbols, somewhat like a combination lock.
		In the event that either the Iris is penetrated or must be kept open because an SG team is returning under enemy fire, standard procedure dictates that a heavily armed defense team must be present, with their weapons ready, in order to provide defense in case of hostiles coming through the Stargate.

	Iris (Stargate) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The System Lord Sokar devised a means to breach the iris by firing a particle beam through the wormhole, the subatomic particles being small enough to reintegrate in the space between the iris and the event horizon, thus heating the iris up with the intent of eventually melting it.
		Closing the iris temporarily decreased the radiation in the gate room, however it would be a matter of time before the iris melted and the radiation transmitted freely.
		The Stargate in Atlantis is protected by a force field that fulfills the same role as the metal iris on Earth.

	The Stargate
		The Stargate is kept in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, in the lowest levels of the NORAD complex.
		As far as SGC can tell, the traveler is disintegrated at the transmitting Stargate and reintegrated at the receiving one; if the wormhole is shut down before he arrives, partial reintegration occurs, up to the level of individual atoms, killing the traveler.
		If the Stargate is buried under something substantial, it becomes unusable, as there must be a clear area in front of it for the wormhole to form.

		The iris was originally constructed of titanium, and was maintained until the incident involving the singularity.
		The iris was reconstructed using the recently-obtained metal trinium.
		The gates must have a destination point with sufficient mass on which to fix, even with the other six points defining it: for example, a Stargate aboard a ship cannot be used as either a destination or as a point of origin unless the ship itself has as much mass a planetoid.

		Oh Brophis you were actually right about the iris being too slow but what you need to do to make it accurate is make it go faster until you get the overleaf effect (when closing the iris) and slow when it overleafs.
		For for acceleration and deacceleration of the iris, this isn't possible with the func_door_rotating entites used for the iris, sorry.
		The difference between that and the iris is that the iris is placed approximately 3 microns away from where the event horizon is formed, therefore allowing a wormhole to be established but no matter can exit the wormhole.

		The Stargate is a round portal that can instantaneously transport an object from one point in space to another by generating an artificial wormhole.
		All together, the Stargate contains 39 symbols, one of which represents a point of origin unique to that Stargate, and has 7 chevrons that are used to lock on to Stargate symbols and dial another Stargate.
		The Iris : The Air Force learns by Daniel Jackson's example on Abydos, and by the actions of the ancient Egyptians, that if the Gate is buried under a strong, substantial substance, it blocks the path of anyone or anything attempting to pass through it.

		Second, the sound that is heard when the Iris is closed is the force of the object hitting the Iris, not the object itself.
		Although some particals do get through.[ I mean come on,if something is moving at over a hundred millon miles a second, and it suddenly hits a wall, it's going to make a noise!] and lastly, When the gate is buried there's dirt or sometimes a cover stone in the center so no wormhole can establish.

		While the Stargate had been previously studied (most notably in the 1940s as a potential weapon), no one was able to make it reliably function until Egyptologist and Archaeologist Daniel Jackson was introduced to Project Giza, predecessor to the SGC in the early 1990's.
		Jackson intuited the strange symbols around the perimeter of the Stargate device were actually representations of constellations rather than hieroglyphs, and the device could 'dial' another Stargate by 'locking' seven (or, much later, up to eight) of its chevrons onto these symbols, like a combination lock.
		Stargate Command was originally overseen directly by the President and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (as stated in Children of the Gods), but after Anubis's attack on Earth (in Lost City), Henry Hayes established the top-secret Department of Homeworld Security.

	iris question - GateWorld Forum
		I was wondering why they don't just leave the iris closed all the time, rather than rushing to close it every time someone starts to dial in from outside.
		i thought the idea of the iris was that it would be a terrible thing to have open in case goa'ulds or other nasties dialed in.
		The Iris might need a magnetic field to stay closed therefore requiring electricity therefore making up more than the $7b bills.

		If you put the stargate on the ground to that when the vortex opens it goes up into the air (not into the ground), matter would come through, yes, but the gravitational pull of earth would drop them back through the event horizon.

		Look at it like this, if the iris closes so near the wormhole that there is no space provided for the flush to even begin it may be forced to expel out the other end of the wormhole, at that gate, or be dispersed.
		Perhaps that is just their molecules though, since they do move through the gate at amazing speed.
