I'm sure it's in some mission statement somewhere, but I can imagine the data network is concentrated on the dummies and capsule data. They can get all the HD videos/photos after splashdown instead of wasting bandwidth on tertiary data.

Maybe? We saw it eject a lot of it's surface in 2019. And it takes 640 years for it's light to reach us. But it could be thousands of more years before it explodes.
