Why is it that even if I've turned in data about scans of planets and planetary surfaces that if I die, I have to do them over again if I want the information? Why is that? Is there something I can do to prevent that?
Planet scans/surface scans after dying

Can't say I've ever had that problem once the data is sold.
Are you sure you're not playing on different accounts?
If I sell to the UC on my FC or station/outpost I have never have to do them again, suggest doing some screen capturing and send in a bug report if is happening to you.
I haven't seen it for a while (but then, I haven't died in a populated system for a while) but there certainly used to be a bug where if that happened your exploration data for that specific system might end up damaged. Could still be around, I guess.
I had this issue the other week. I now have a 0 credit scan which doesn't disappear.
Although I didn't die.
I visited a System I'd previously fully scanned and handed in all the data for but when I jumped in, it said I'd discovered it again and I had to scan it again.

You can sell the 0cr entry by scanning another system then selling the page.
I'll try that. I usually sell everything individually because I make sure I've not forgotten to scan something. As it happens, I forget to scan a ring of a planet, so I need to return to the System and scan it. Once I return, I'll try and sell the page and see if it removes the 0 credit entry.
Thanks for everyone's replies! I think I know what's happening now; I didn't realize that I hadn't sold the specific data of the system I was in yet. When I died, I was losing that particular data when I thought I had already sold it. Thanks again! Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.
Ah yes, can't sell same system data at a station in that system, got to be 20ly away at least, or on a fleet carrier, fleet carriers don't have that restriction.
