So what does that mean??

If they are restricted to only 120 bits/second then forget pretty pictures. All they can do is transmit and receive a minimalist instruction/command set to the spacecraft.

It means the mission has taken a new kink - as every command well need to be acked. Every command will be received S-L-O-W-L-Y and ever ack will come back V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y

Did they confirm the high gain is gone for sure and can't be fixed?
