Nu in het ISS Expedition 69 werd afgelost door Expedition 70, wordt er ook een wisseling van bemanningen voorzien in het Chinese ruimtestation. Deze week werd alvast aan boord van Shenzhou 17 de nieuwe bemanning gelanceerd. En op kerstavond wordt de eerste Vulcan gelanceerd. Benieuwd of Starship dan al zijn tweede lancering achter de rug heeft. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart.

De volgende NUDR verschijnt eerst tijdens het weekend van 12 november.
