Nasa TV will be starting coverage in about 3 mins - but I'm watching multiple TV channels to see if any carry coverage - and will post any news thru the day as it happens

djellison: Please read my question again. We know the images are JPEG compressed once, before transmission from the spacecraft and we will never get back what that lost. My question is, are the images lossy JPEG compressed a second time here on earth, and are there images without this second compression ?
As to giving the engineers time: the internet public has shown it can work faster and produce better images, and if the powers that be give us all the *raw* data, then we can work in parallel with them. Hopefully this work will capture the world's attention and make them feel their money was well spent. I do not think ESOC have, to date, done enough to make them feel that way, and this should concern everyone interested enough to post here: Am I just worrying about not making enough eye candy for Joe Public? Yes. Will how Joe feels about the quality of the eye candy have an impact on future mission budgets ? Yes. |
