How much data can Hubble store on board?
Not very much at all!
"Mike Wenz, Lead Subsystems Engineer"
Hubble Space Telescope has 24 gigabits of data storage! Any of your thumb drives
are massively, massively much more updated than that. It's enough that we can manage it.
Trying to manage all the data we have to make it as efficient as possible.
Our schedulers are very, very good about packing the data, get the data down and get the new
stuff up. It's a constant data coming down and data coming up all the time for Hubble.
