NASA lost then restored communication

NASA reported that it has restored communications with the International Space Station (ISS) after temporarily losing contact with it for several hours Tuesday morning.

The problem came during a routine software update on the station at 9:45 a. m. EST Tuesday morning, causing “a bit of commotion” at Johnson Space Center in Houston, ABC News reported.

“Flight controllers were in the process of updating the station’s command and control software and were transitioning from the primary computer to the backup computer to complete the software load when the loss of communication occurred,” the agency said in a statement Tuesday.
