The initial telemetry data received 6 plus hours later indicates everything went as planned. We should be getting the initial images later today. It is going to take about a year to downlink all the data. It takes a while at 1 kilobit per second.
NASA should update their modem!

Hehe

one-thousand-bits every second over several billion miles (ca. 6 light-hours!), sent with the power equal to a refidgerator lightbulb. I have had modems worse than that. Dodgy
