Voyager 2: Nasa loses contact with record-breaking probe after sending wrong command https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-66371569

Oops. I remember being on a remote desktop connection and wanting to reset the network connection via the command line. Once I entered the first half of the commands and got disconnected I realized what I'd done 😅

I'm sure just about everyone that has been involved in remote support has done something similar, I know its happened to me a good few times.

But never as big as dropping connection to a satellite.

 

I hear though that communication has been re-established. They did not mention how on the news reports I heard.

Years ago I worked in support for Various top tier companies and private hospitals all over Cape Town. The day I resigned, I was called out to a hospital to restore their terminals and network. As soon as I logged in I could tell that someone was working on  the server. I called into the office and they were like no, restore the terminals. So I carried out the instruction, it didnt work, After a few hours a supervisor rocks up and also cannot get it to work. I tell him someone is working on the server and he ignores me. He makes calls etc. Just as our manager walks in the terminals connect after almost a whole day there. It turned out that there was people working on the server at that hospital and at the Telkom building in Belville. I resigned on the spot and told them this could of all been avoided if I was authorised to go check the server room after my call to the office.

did you check to see if the server was plugged in, and did you restart the system?
