To transmit time series that can be a big amount of data, json might not be the best format.

Another proposition could be FITS, as it is compressed, can contain metadata in the header and is widely used in astronomy.

Related to #24

Certainly we'd like the ability to send FITS for the skymap of whatever our pointing results are, so the technical capability to do so will be needed. The SCIMMA folks say that hop shoul dbe able to do this, as trading FITS files is what telescopes do all the time.
