- rklaehn 8y agoWe were storing telemetry that was preprocessed by the MCS. This is preferable for analysis, since you can not afford to pipe the CCSDS packets through the rather slow mission control systems every time you want to plot or analyse the data. This also has the advantage that you store the data exactly as seen in the control room. The raw CCSDS packet stream also gets stored, but given that the MCS systems are rather inflexible, they are not as valuable for general analysis.
