It has not yet been recovered. The command team turned the transmitter on to test it out on June 28th, but they still need to upload the secondary bootloader and then the high level code necessary to operate the satellite. The issue in the past has been that the satellite crashes when they try to run high level code. We will see if they've managed to work around that problem (probably radiation damage to a section of the satellite's memory).
