Bridenstine: "I know there's maybe some folks in the media that would call it an issue." Maybe because it is?
Bridenstine: "We have a strong carrier wave, a strong signal. But we haven't been able to lock onto the modulation of that signal to receive the data."
Matt Wallace: "They are very sensitive receivers, very big antennas, and to configure them, in fact, to talk to a spacecraft that is this close to the Earth is a little out of the ordinary."
Wallace: "I did just get a text that we were able to lock on that telemetry. And so we'll be starting to get some information on spacecraft and spacecraft health very soon."
Wallace: "Another 30 to 60 minutes or so have a pretty good understanding of the different spacecraft systems."
