NASA explained through its official X account – formerly Twitter – that the audio deviated from the simulation in progress
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) caused alarm among some social media users by accidentally broadcasting an astronaut emergency in space, which Fortunately it turned out to be false.
This week, the agency’s YouTube channel published an audio where a woman served as a guide for the crew, providing instructions such as “check pulse and administer oxygen”, “help the commander put the suit back on”, and expressing that “Unfortunately, the prognosis for the commander is quite limited.” It was also suggested that the health of one of the crew members was compromised while they were in the International Space Station.
Given the confusion generated, NASA explained through its official X account – formerly Twitter – that the audio deviated from the simulation in progress, which It is part of the regular training for both the crew and the ground teams, preparing them for various scenarios that could arise during a mission.

“There is no emergency situation aboard the International Space Station. At approximately 5:28 p.m. CDT, audio was transmitted on NASA’s live feed from a ground simulation audio channel indicating that one crew member was experiencing effects related to decompression sickness (DCS). “It is not related to a real emergency,” they detailed.
In addition, they indicated that the crew at the Station was resting at the time of the transmission: “Everyone remains healthy and safe, and tomorrow’s spacewalk will begin at 8 a.m. EDT as planned,” they added in the statement issued yesterday.
The news reassured users, who expressed relief from false alarm:
“They had a lot of us about to turn blue.”
“It’s a relief, I’m very happy that everyone is well, safe and healthy.”
“That was terrifying to hear! I’m glad to hear that everything is okay in space”they commented.
To date, the agency has not provided any further details about the incident.
