What's the baud rate and have they needed to adjust it over time?
Not baud, but actual data rate returned:

That "real time" on out of earth scale always boggles my mind. Technically it is as fast as it possibly could, knowing that radio waves travels at the speed of light. But damn, that light has to travel for a long time before arriving so "real time" data that arrives is technically "quite old" data.
As far as it is, it's still just under one day at light speed.
