Adaptive image coding is currently being used by the [[Cassini-Hyugens]] craft to relay images from [[Saturn]]. Only about 5% of the images show any visual signs of damage. As the spacecraft has aan error correcting [[Flash drive]] and long timeframes between image taking events, damaged images like this can be resent. It is assumed that the number of damaged, but unrecoverable images from the Cassini mission is about 0.01% or less.
