NASA says 'pulsing sound' inside Boeing Starliner has stopped, won't impact slated return
Update 11:34 a.m. ET Sept. 2, 2024
A mysterious sound heard emanating from the Boeing Starliner spacecraft has been identified as feedback from a speaker, NASA said in a statement Monday assuring the capsule's autonomous flight back to Earth is still slated to depart as early as Friday.
"The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner," NASA said, adding that it's "common" to experience noise and feedback.
The statement said the "pulsing sound" has stopped.
"The crew is asked to contact mission control when they hear sounds originating in the comm system," NASA said.
"The speaker feedback Wilmore reported has no technical impact to the crew, Starliner, or station operations, including Starliner’s uncrewed undocking from the station no earlier than Friday, Sept. 6."
