Boeing Starliner spacecraft is now making strange noise while docked at the ISS
Published: September 4, 2024
NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore reported an unusual pulsing noise from the Boeing Starliner's speaker, prompting him to inquire about it with mission control. The sound was configured to be audible at the ISS Mission Control. Despite the odd noise, the Boeing Starliner is set to undock from the International Space Station on September 6th without any crew on board.
In my expert opinion, unexpected noises in spacecraft can raise concerns about technical issues or system malfunctions, and it’s crucial for space agencies to ensure that craft are thoroughly tested to minimize risks. Continuous monitoring and clear communication between astronauts and mission control are vital in addressing such anomalies promptly.
