The satellite, which collects climate data, made contact at 03:27 on Thursday (18:27 GMT on Wednesday).
Grist has a post up which takes a look at NOAA climate data for October.

They assembled the climate data by measuring the distribution of dust layers seen in two ice boreholes.
BBC: The dust loggers were sacrificed at the bottom of the holes
Electric utilities count on climate data to anticipate peak power requirements and distribute power where it is needed.
The researchers believe the study covers one of the largest and longest records of observable climate data ever assembled.
The satellite, called Science and Technology Satellite-2C, is designed to collect climate data.
Apparently Mr. Taylor thinks he can cherry pick climate model results in the same way he cherry picks climate data.
FORBES: News Alert To Climate Alarmists: Most Arctic Species Will Benefit From Global Warming
These partners include the University of Maryland, Penn State, Georgia Tech, the National Climate Data Center and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Emergency managers along the Mississippi, Missouri and Red River basins used NOAA climate data to help lessen flooding, months before it began.
One upward trend is indisputable: At NOAA, requests for climate data have skyrocketed, and those data are increasingly helping stakeholders cope with extreme events.
We must solve the orbital debris problem, if only so that satellites can continue collecting the climate data we need to make informed decisions about carbon emissions.
The National Climate Data Center announced this week that 2012 was the hottest year on record, crushing the previous hottest year, 1998, by a full degree.
ENGADGET: Inhabitat's Week in Green: cardboard cockroach, a milk carton pavilion and the iPotty
We can believe real-world climate data or we can believe alarmist computer models that are programmed by alarmists, exist purely in cyberspace, and are consistently contradicted by real-world observations.
In its report issued Thursday, the climate data center said the average U.S. temperature between March and May was 57.1 degrees, 5.2 degrees above the long-term average from 1901 to 2000.
The technology processes remote-sensing data, including data from the LANDSAT and RADAR satellites, in combination with ground truth data provided by a ground penetrating radar and other information drawn from geological, hydrogeological, geographical, hydrological and climate data and, when dealing with deep aquifers, seismological data.
The data enable climate models to include accurate representations of ocean currents and circulation.
The charge that CRU scientists and other climate scientists had manipulated data was rejected by an independent review in July 2010.
The right scientists, ones who know how to communicate enthusiasm for the fields of research from which climate science draws its data, would be invaluable.
This allows us to integrate what we see from the fossil record with data on climate change and changes in flora and fauna that we see around us today.
Existing studies of climate sensitivity mostly rely on data gathered from weather stations, which go back to roughly 1850.
Or do you instead take the road followed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and conclude that data which undermine your favoured hypothesis are not valid, and throw out the data?
They must also concede the interpretations of satellite temperature data provided by skeptical climate scientists John Christy and Roy Spencer.
FORBES: As The Consensus Among Scientists Crumbles, Global Warming Alarmists Attack Their Integrity
Crowdsourcing has changed how we gather news, how we fund companies and now how fast scientists can analyze data to produce predictive climate models.
The insights that were shared at this event will help address the gap that is created when the science of climate change is based on abstract data and separated from local and cultural considerations.
More than 2000 deployments per year are required to maintain the two global arrays, which are an essential part of the Global Climate Observing System, providing crucial data for weather forecasts and information on the heat content of the oceans.
An assessment of the impacts of climatic change in Latin America and the Caribbean supported by reliable data suggests that ??climate changes during the last century have included an increase in the surface medium temperature, particularly in medium and high latitudes, and changes in precipitation quantity and intensity in several countries of the Region (Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina).
However, he added that the IPCC was too reliant on climate computer models and sometimes unresponsive to new data.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change says it will closely monitor energy data and performance through additional meters and detailed surveys.
By including such data in their computer simulations, climate modellers may be able to tell whether solar inconstancy deserves some of the blame heaped on greenhouse gases.
Into this climate, Merck on Monday released the full data set for a gigantic study of Arcoxia, its Vioxx follow-up, here at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association.
