Boeing's Starliner Emits Strange Sonar-Like Noises at ISS
Sep 1, 2024, 09:43 PM
Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, currently docked at the International Space Station (ISS), has begun emitting strange 'sonar-like' noises. The unusual sounds were first reported on Saturday and have been described as 'pulsing' or 'hydroacoustic' by various sources. NASA astronauts, including Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, have raised alarms about the noises, which have left mission control in Houston baffled. The Starliner, which has faced previous technical challenges, is scheduled to return to Earth in a week without its crew. The source of these noises remains unknown, and investigations are ongoing. Notably, the noises were first reported on August 1.
