Argh, the idea that an autonomous spacecraft gather more interesting data than it can possibly transmit back to Earth.
I wonder if they considered lossless video compression approaches, and combining an entire set of images into a single file.
- hobbes78 12y agoVideo compression (even lossless) leverages the fact that successive frames are very similar; that's not the case here, as photos can be taken hours apart, in various directions, and in various zoom levels. So you'll get basically the same compression either way...
