The spacecraft rebooted itself meaning that there was no contact between it and Earth for 90 mins, and the spacecraft then went into safe mode and radioed for help. The team on Earth picked up the distress signal and had the spacecraft fully functioning within 2 days. 07-07-29 11:38:47 __________________________________________________
