... or "roughly three months" for that matter.
I wonder, in the final days and hours, what the amount of impact individual seconds have on a given image.
Do the sensors record the full stream of data, and then perform calculations to produce the exposure?
If so, how many bytes does one pixel-second occupy? How high is the dynamic range for x-rays? Figure maybe a sensor can operate like a high-speed camera, and record many hundreds of frames per second?
