Don't get your hopes down! It's still very possible that we'll get some good, if not real-time, video out of this!

- jvanderbot 7y agoAh, we likely will not get real time video. Maybe APL has some tricks I'm not privy to. Source: I asked a DSN coms engineer.
- swebs 7y agoThere will be at least an hour delay. Saturn is pretty far
- bdamm 7y ago10 seconds of video from Titan would change the world. It's shame we don't have this from Mars already. So it would take a few weeks to transmit - we got time. Now figuring out which 10 seconds to select and send to earth... that'll be interesting. An on-board cache of x GB data storage, with key frames taken every 30 minutes, would probably be able to select some pretty compelling 10 second segments.
- AmericanChopper 7y agoWhat about the world would be different after getting a 10 second video from Titan?
- cheerlessbog 7y agoIt would be inspiring for me at least.(Assuming something was moving)
- andygates 7y agoSend them all, just pick a likely-nice one for sending while the eyes of the world are on Mission Control. Caching everything then sending it at leisure is working nicely for New Horizons.
