Japan loses contact with Akatsuki, humanity’s only active Venus probe

Japan’s Venus spacecraft Akatsuki, dedicated to studying the planet’s climate, has lost contact with Earth.

Conducting scientific research since then, it made unexpected discoveries.

However, contact was lost in late April due to stability control issues, Space.com has reported.
