A “strange noise” has been reported coming from the hobbled Boeing Starliner spacecraft that’s left two Nasa astronauts marooned on the International Space Station.
An audio recording captured the exchange between Butch Wilmore and Mission Control at Johnson Space Centre in Houston about the mystery sonar-like pulsing.
Wilmore said the sound was being emitted from the spacecraft he and colleague Suni Williams launched aboard in June - but safety issues mean the pair will likely not be rescued until February.
The mystery deepens around a cyberattack targeting Transport for London after customers received an email warning about a vague “incident”, despite claims no passenger data has been compromised.
Now, staff at the travel body’s Southwark HQ have been asked to consider working from home, while an investigation is undertaken by the National Crime Agency and the National Cyber Security Centre.
