To address the challenge of managing large amounts of data and processing it quickly during communication between Earth and space, the most suitable technology from the options provided would be using camera imaging and wireless communication.

Camera imaging plays a critical role in capturing high-resolution data from space missions, while advancements in wireless communication technology (such as high-frequency radio waves, laser communications, or optical systems) can improve data transmission rates, reduce latency, and enhance the efficiency of data streaming from spacecraft to Earth. This combination can help ensure that large datasets are transmitted quickly and efficiently.

The other options, such as parachutes and giant airbags, aerodynamic vehicle design, and infrared spectroscopy, are more focused on physical aspects of travel, landing, or analysis rather than directly addressing data communication and processing needs.
