Mars missions have entered a 15 day 'Blackout' phase



NASA's different Mars missions along with ISRO's Mars orbiter mission [MOM] have entered a 15 day Blackout phase when no proper communication can be made between the mission control and their respected missions.  

From June 7 to June 21, the satellites and rovers will not transmit any new data to Earth as the Red Planet goes behind the Sun. The positioning of Sun between the Earth and Mars is called Mars-solar conjunction.
