The persistent data rate/size includes a factor of two to accommodate calibration, instrument monitoring, and analysis summary of high-rate data. The size and nature of these data have yet to be fully specified. They are vital to the success of the ex
Satellite transmissions can be problematic at the Pole.
To successfully transmit all the data over the Satellite link, we need to include a factor that accounts for failed transmissions. An estimate of this factor is about 30%. Backups to tape will be used to store data in those cases where transmissions fai
