Losing Exploration contracts?

[Gornic]

I was about halfway to a destination ~8000 ly from my regular station with two scientific groups. I logged in for the day and the transactions were gone and my cabins were empty. This is only my second long range mission. Does this happen regularly? Is there any way I can get these contracts back? I was really hoping to use the nice little payouts from the contracts along with my turned in cartography to upgrade my ships.

You probably missed the time Frame. All missions have time Limits, and if you miss them, the passengers somehow just jump out of the air lock

Luckily, noone does such silly things IRL, because there would be stacks of corpses on the side of the railways.

Unfortunately that isn’t it. The initial time frame for them was 4 weeks and I picked them up about 3 days ago.

The missions wouldn't have disappeared, they would still show up but as failed until you delete them yourself.

To OP:
If they just disappeared, you'd better submit a ticket in the bugreport section

I stand corrected. Well then, bug Report is your best bet

You're not the only one. Bug reports and Dangerous Discussions is full of similar issues right now. Since the missions are presumably stored on the servers, it seems like someone/-thing royally fornicated the server connections.

All missions are randomly vanishing like this since 3.04, and 3.05 did not fix it. Frontier is looking into it, but for now trying to do any long term missions is super risky.
