Abstract
Future planetary exploration missions will continue to face an ever-increasing data prioritization problem as instrument data collection rates continue to exceed spacecraft downlink transmission rates. Hard decisions must be made about what data are sent back to Earth and what data are purged without being seen by scientists. In this article, we present a suite of techniques for the prioritization of science data for transmission. These techniques include methods to ensure that data representative of the local geology, as well as any unusual observations, are given the highest priority.
