Two weeks after going into an emergency mode that jeopardized the mission, NASA's Kepler spacecraft has recovered and resumed normal science operations.

The recovering process included a number of steps that were taken during the next two days. The pointing tables and science targets were reloaded and confirmed. Onboard logs and counters were reset and a new command sequence was created and uploaded to account for the late start of the campaign.

The spacecraft is ready for science operations and starting K2's gravitational microlensing campaign known as Campaign 9 or C9, as per the team.

The K2 microlensing team and the ground-based observatories, which are taking part in the C9's global experiment in exoplanet observation, are sifting through the collected data from the ground telescopes for possible events for observations on larger telescopes.

K2 will start Campaign 10, which will look into a new set of interesting astrophysical targets. Using NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN), the team will check on the spacecraft throughout the weekend to ensure it remains stable and continue doing its tasks.

The spacecraft has discovered over 1,000 confirmed exoplanets orbiting other stars. The observatory has performed more than the expectations.
