DSN in Canberra should be receiving a full memory read-out of the Voyager 1 FDS computer as we speak. This will help with the planning for further code relocations to enable transmission of science data soon.

Six months after it suffered a serious brain injury and after months of mind-boggling ultra-long-distance surgery, the Voyager 1 spacecraft walked and talked at full data rate today!

After transmitting a full memory readout on Friday at 40 bps, Voyager 1 switched to the science-mode 160 bps rate, which presumably the DSN site at Goldstone was able to receive and decode today.

Congrats and kudos to all who made it happen.
