From the USGS Home Page:

Landsat 5 is back in business!  After tumbling out of control, the 25-year
old spacecraft has been restored to full operation.

Evaluation of the Landsat 5 data following the recent spacecraft anomaly
is complete. All data collected at the Landsat Ground Station in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota from Saturday, August 15, 2009 through today (Monday,
August 17, 2009) are currently available for order or immediate download (
http://glovis.usgs.gov or http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov).
Engineers deemed the data from Friday, August 14 as non-nominal due to
cooler than normal temperatures associated with the primary focal plane of
the instrument. Data from that day will remain unavailable for order or
download. The Landsat Team continues to investigate the cause of the
incident, but do not have anything definitive to report at this time.
