NASA's loses contact with MAVEN Mars orbiter on the far side of the Red Planet

Something happened to the probe on the far side of the Red Planet.

MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) is one of only three NASA missions currently in operation around Mars, and one of five spacecraft serving as a communications relay for the space agency's rover missions on the Martian surface.

MAVEN launched on a ULA Atlas V rocket in Nov. 2013
