Currently they have problems with the voice between ISS and Dragon. There is a huge interference and they can't read it. Funny enough we the viewers hear it loud and clear
- moftz 6y agoI'm sure an easy workaround would be to use Houston as a relay rather than direct communication.
- haunter 6y agoYep that's what they are doing now
- ducktective 6y agoI thought they already could communicate on wireless bands? No need for relay... They wanted to have a "wired" communication set up correctly IIUC.
- mattowen_uk 6y agoThey were trying to get the 'Hard wire' link working - which is the direct cable link between the ISS and Dragon. What we were all hearing, was the 'Big Loop' which is comms via Mission Control, SpaceX, Dragon, and the ISS - which carries a couple of seconds delay. What got me, was that the whole boarding process was held up for over 30 minutes, because NASA couldn't progress past their 'hard wire' item on their checklist. They eventually switched to RF (radio) direct link between the ISS and Dragon to be able to progress past that checklist item - later on the hard wire audio was fixed and working.
