- jandrese 5y agoIt's in the article, but the OP was confused because this isn't the imaging data. It's the telemetry, things like thruster temps, gyro speeds, etc... The metadata that NASA uses to make sure the spacecraft is healthy, not the mission payload.
- smccully 5y agoAstronomical Images are calculated in Hours, and I have no idea how long the average image will be for NIRCam on JWST, but your average Space Photo from Ground Telescopes is usually a combination of 5 to 15 minutes images, with a total imaging time from 10 - 40 hours.
