checked on TESS

Surfed into NASA's site and sought out an update on TESS.

Was relieved to see a post entitled TESS Resumes Normal Operations.

Whew!

NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey (TESS) began its return to normal operations on Thursday, Oct. 13, at around 6:30 p.m. EDT. Engineers successfully powered up the instrument, and the spacecraft resumed its regular fine-pointing mode. The team expects that TESS will resume science observations later today, and all science data stored on the spacecraft will be downlinked at the next opportunity.
