The command "isisdl --compress" is used to compress the data when downloading files using the ISIS download tool (isisdl).

isisdl is a command-line tool used to download data from the Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) system, which is a software package commonly used in planetary science for processing and analyzing scientific data from space missions.

When the "--compress" option is used with the isisdl command, it enables the compression of the downloaded data files. By default, isisdl does not compress the downloaded files, but using this flag allows for the data to be compressed before being saved on the local system.

Compressing the files can be useful for reducing the storage space required for downloaded data, as well as for faster data transfer over the network. However, it's important to note that the compression process may add some computational overhead, depending on the size and complexity of the downloaded files.
