In the scenario below, select the evaluation factor that is most important.
Astronauts have a tool that collects real-time global positioning data that constantly must be transmitted to a control center on Earth. The data consists of simple numerical coordinates that do not need to be stored for very long. It is more important that the data reach the control center than how quickly it gets there.
