Did you not notice in the article that you quoted, that:
"With the hyperspectral camera collecting data at 125 lines/s, the flight computer can record 1.5 h of data on its 32-Gbyte hard drive. This corresponds to hyperspectral imagery of approximately 10 square miles."
A computer that can only store data on 10 square miles per flight would be pretty useless for marijuana detection in Puna, don't you think?
