New Update on Astronauts Trapped in Space: Source of the Strange Sounds Revealed
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, whose space mission has turned into a complex situation, previously reported hearing strange noises aboard the Starliner. NASA has now addressed these reports.
Astronauts Claimed to Hear Strange Noises
A recent NASA report highlighted significant issues with Boeing’s Starliner space capsule project. The report detailed a series of events that led to two NASA astronauts being unexpectedly stranded on the International Space Station (ISS), revealing NASA’s negligence in the scandal.
Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who were stuck at the ISS due to quality control issues with Boeing, had expressed concerns about strange noises coming from the Starliner. However, it appears that the source of these noises has now been identified.
According to NASA’s response, the disturbing sounds reported by Wilmore were not indicative of a major issue. The noises were traced back to a problem with the communication system connecting the spacecraft to the ISS. In summary, aside from being stranded in space, the astronauts face no new critical dangers.
Boeing’s Starliner is designed for autonomous flight and has completed two unmanned test flights. Since the decision to return Starliner empty, NASA has been working with Boeing engineers to update the capsule’s systems for its autonomous return flight. The Starliner is expected to return to Earth and clear the docking port on the ISS before the end of September, ahead of the planned SpaceX Dragon Crew-9 flight.
