Last month, the Japanese satellite ceased all communication with earth. Everything was working fine since it was launched until March 17, when it stopped radio signal. They just announced it yesterday, while including that they will accelerate and focus more on finding out what meant wrong. The idea was to scan for X rays in Supernovas and Galaxy clusters. It's sad that it was not a possibility. I think that it might have been hit by something or a similar situation. Although, I am not sure at all. For more information, go to the site pasted below-
