Engineers at NASA are hopeful that they can fix the problem after they lost contact with the lunar probe.
The space agency said it couldn't communicate with the Capstone because of two successful communications. According to NASA, engineers are trying to find the cause of the communications drop-off and are hopeful they can fix it.
When contact was lost, the craft had been in Earth's atmosphere for nearly a week.
This is where NASA wants to stage its Gateway outpost, which is where the 55 pound satellite is the size of a microwave ovens. Before astronauts go to the moon, Gateway would be a good place to start.
The space station is able to stay in constant contact with Earth because of the balance of the gravities of Earth and the moon.
