Noord- en Zuid-Korea zetten hun onderlinge strijd verder in de ruimte. Beide hebben nu een eigen spionagesatelliet, al lanceerde Zuid-Korea de zijne met een Falcon 9. Ook nieuws over drie nieuwe raketten. Vulcan is nog steeds voor dit jaar. Ariane VI is mid volgend jaar. En New Glenn ... ergens in 2024 ? Er is ook nieuws over de terugkeer van Amerika naar de Maan. Die zal (wellicht) niet voor 2025 zijn. Men denkt zelfs eerder aan 2027. Als is dat ook geen verrassing. En de archieven van het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart zijn nog eens uitgekuist. Met allerlei raketgerelateerde raketnieuwtjes die de voorbije rmaanden om één of andere reden het niet gehaald hebben. Dat en dus nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: De foto toont één helft van de Vulcan-neuskegel welke op de eerste lancering zal gebruikt worden. De nuttige lading van die eerste Vulcan-lancering is de maanlander Peregrine van Astrobotic. Daarom dat bij de geplande lancering van 24 december er maar drie dagen zijn dat de lancering kan doorgaan (van 24 t.e.m. 26 december) zodat de lander onder de juiste omstandigheden op de Maan kan landen. Kan men de raket niet lanceren op één van die drie dagen, dan wordt alles uitgesteld tot in januari. Foto United Launch Alliance.
