Zipping Up Data to Zap It Back from an Icy Moon

by Sarah Derouin 19 October 202219 October 2022

NASA wants to send instruments to distant moons like Europa and Enceladus to search for life. But getting vital data back to Earth over limited bandwidth will take some impressive compression software.

A thermal image of coastline shows plant evaporative stress in varying shades of red and green. Waterways in black snake through the mangrove forest, becoming narrower toward the top of the image. Land that touches or is near a waterway tends to have low evaporative stress and shows up as bright green, whereas areas farther inland indicate high evaporative stress and appear red.
