NASA restores communication with International Space Station after multi-hour outage

(CNN) -- NASA restored communication with the International Space Station on Tuesday after connections went dark following a routine computer software update. Before the fix, the space agency said the craft was able to communicate only every 90 minutes when it passed over ground stations in Russia. "This is the same way they used to do it in the 1960s, with Gemini and Apollo," NASA spokesman Josh Byerly said. (www.cnn.com) Mehr...
