In short, it was remote bricked, by giving it commands to rotate a bit. After successfully executing those commands - no further commands could be received, as now the antennas are not facing earth anymore.

But luckily it automatically readjust itself to earth automatically every half year exactly for these events. So on 15.10 we will know, if it is really lost. In either case, the end of its mission is near anyway, because the nuclear batteries are near its end.

reminds me of the time I forgot i was on a remote connection, and could not figure out why the thing quit responding when i typed eth0 down

>>dylan6+2H1
usually I do something like:

    # ifconfig eth0 down; ifconfig eth0 up

that said, I have done this:

    # reboot

...on the wrong system
