Thousands on the internet went into a panic yesterday after NASA accidentally aired audio from an ISS emergency test.
The International Space Station has been in orbit for over two and a half decades now. In that time, it has swerved to avoid space debris and even had to deal with leaky Russian spacecraft. But yesterday, the internet briefly went into a panic when audio from an ISS emergency test was accidentally misrouted to the NASA public audio feed. The ISS is constantly broadcasting to the internet—with viewers able to see camera views from outside and inside the space station.
It was extremely concerning, as while the ISS is slated to be deorbited in the 2030s, it’s still a very active part of NASA’s space operations at the moment. Thankfully, NASA confirmed that there was no emergency and that the audio was part of an ISS emergency test exercise. https://x.
