Boeing Starliner Speakers Make A 'Kind Of Pulsing Noise, Almost Like A Sonar Ping' — Strange Sound Reported By NASA Astronaut Baffles Houston
On Saturday, NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore reported hearing strange sonar-like sounds from a speaker inside Boeing Co.'s (NYSE: BA) Starliner spacecraft.
週六,NASA宇航員布奇·威爾莫爾在波音公司(紐交所:BA)的星際客艙內的揚聲器上聽到了奇怪的聲納聲。
What Happened: Wilmore reached out to Mission Control at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, expressing his uncertainty about the origin of the noise, reported ARS Technical.
據ARS Technical報道,威爾莫爾與休斯頓的約翰遜航天中心的任務控制中心聯繫,表達了他對噪音起源的不確定性。
He requested flight controllers to monitor the audio inside the spacecraft, which has been docked to the International Space Station for nearly three months.
他要求飛行控制員監測星際客艙內的音頻,該客艙已經停靠在國際空間站近三個月了。
Upon connecting to the Starliner's audio via "hardline," Mission Control confirmed the existence of a distinctive, pulsing noise, similar to a sonar ping.
通過"硬線"連接到星際客艙的音頻,任務控制中心確認了一種獨特的、脈衝狀的噪音,類似於聲納聲。
"Alright Butch, that one came through," Mission Control radioed. "It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping."
「好吧布奇,那個傳過來了,」任務控制中心無線電傳達。「它有點像脈衝狀的噪音,幾乎像聲納聲。」
"I'll do it one more time, and I'll let y'all scratch your heads and see if you can figure out what's going on," the astronaut replied, and then the sonar-like sound repeated itself.
「我再做一次,你們可以思考一下是怎麼回事,」宇航員回答道,然後聲納般的聲音再次重複。
The source of this peculiar sound is yet to be determined. The Starliner communicates with the space station through a radio frequency system and once docked, an umbilical hardline carries audio, the report noted.
這種奇特聲音的來源尚未確定。報告指出,Starliner通過無線電頻率系統與空間站通信,一旦停靠,臍帶硬線傳輸音頻。
Why It Matters: The Starliner is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station and return to Earth as early as Sept. 6. The spacecraft has been in space for nearly three months.
爲什麼重要:計劃於9月6日或之前,從國際空間站分離並返回地球。該飛船已在太空中飛行近3個月。
Sunita Williams and Wilmore launched into space on June 5 aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. They were expected to return after about eight days. However, technical issues with the spacecraft during docking led to delays in their return.
桑尼塔·威廉姆斯(Sunita Williams)和威爾默(Wilmore)於6月5日乘坐波音的Starliner太空船進入太空。預計他們將在大約8天后返回。然而,在對接過程中,航天器出現了技術問題,導致他們返航的延遲。
As a result, NASA decided to cancel the plan to bring the astronauts back using the Boeing spacecraft altogether.
因此,美國宇航局決定取消使用Boeing航天器將宇航員帶回地球的計劃。
Last month, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk expressed optimism for Boeing Space under its new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, after NASA announced that the astronauts who went to space aboard Boeing's Starliner would return via a SpaceX vehicle.
上個月,SpaceX首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)在NASA宣佈乘坐波音Starliner太空船前往太空的宇航員將通過SpaceX的飛船返回後,對波音航天公司在新任首席執行官凱利·奧特伯格(Kelly Ortberg)領導下持樂觀態度。
