Very cool. How much data is going to be arriving from JWST daily? Is it going to be readily open to the public?

The scientific data will be available to the public, sometimes after a "proprietary" period (typically in the range 6–18 months) where the data is only accessible to the team who successfully proposed to obtain that data.

Not really my department! I do work at STScI, which operates the MAST archive that will eventually hold all this data, so I'm sure someone in my building knows.
