Honest question.

How long does it take to get “data” back from this craft ?

A bit more than 17 and a half light hours out I believe.

Solve for x:

11,000,000,000 miles divided by 186,000 miles/second = x seconds

I just wrote: about 16 light-hours away... so radio signals take about 2/3s of a day to get here.

We are so far from being able to travel at even 1/10 light speed... sigh.
