It's apparently happened before, and I guess it's not permanent:

Any connection with this event? reported on 25 October:

EARTH MONITORING SATELLITE GOES SILENT
--------------------------------------
A $587 million environmental research satellite launched 10 months ago
stopped communicating Saturday and is feared dead in space. The
Advanced
Earth Observing Satellite 2, nicknamed Midori 2, is a joint mission
between the Japanese and U.S. space programs to monitor our planet's
health from orbit.
