It's about time!!
Copied over from the Exp 40 thread since this is probably the correct locationISS just recovered both S and Ku comms after what was obviously an extended, unplanned outage. Russian chatter clobbered the USOS comm discussion about what caused the loss of all comm. I did hear a discussion before total loss that S band forward link had been lost and that MCC-H was available on SG-3 via Ku but then that obviously was lost as well. There was mention of the station being in an apparently unusual orientation (V-V-something) and the crew joked about reorienting themselves internally in response so an attitude control issue sounds like a possibility..
