Details status and explains why Genesis controllers have so far only
gotten a handful of small images. (Not to leave you in suspense,
they're still trying to establish an S-band communications link.)

From the following article, it sounds more like they've currently only have
one ground station in operation, so that's limiting bandwidth. That and
much of the initial data coming down is telemetry type data, not pictures.
As time goes on, it seems like they'll be using more bandwidth for pictures
and less for telemetry. That and they hope to build more ground stations.
