That'd be me, and yes, space can easily be made available for archiving telemetry for any amateur radio satellites.

The AO-40 telemetry was collated externally into zip files and emailed in, because of the limitations of VP9MU's internet connectivity from Bermuda. Scripts on amsat.org then automatically updated the archive from the emailed data. We would probably want to come up with a different scheme for more general purpose use.
