NASA has announced that it briefly lost contact with the International Space Station on Tuesday. The ISS was out of contact with ground controllers after some sort of computer problem blocked communications. NASA says that the computer issue lasted just under three hours.
The ISS commander said that the space station and crew was fine during the communications blackout. The communications problem stemmed from a software update that flight controllers in Houston were uploading to the space station’s flight computers. During the upload, the space stations data relay system broke down.
