>To keep up with the high downlink, the recorder data gets sent directly to the Ka-band transmitter
Currently aws groundstation doesn't support KA band so no luck there. It's apparently going to do a transmission once a day so you would need to time it right with the ground station.

- aunty_helen 5y agoIt's pretty amazing. I found out about it a couple months ago from a job posting that wanted a programmer for a cube sat. It seems like this is what they're aiming the service for at the moment. And really, it's the perfect place for aws to enter, add glue, and provide a service to let you do your core business. Feels like the future man.

It's a little bit annoying finding information about jwst as info could potentially be old and out of date. Another document that I read mentioned using XML as the database format because XML was an emerging standard :S
