Het zijn drukke tijden in en rond het ISS. Na de aankomst van Crew 13 mocht Sophie Adenot en haar gezellen van Crew 12 terug naar huis. Cygnus NG-24 vertrok en Cargo Dragon CRS-35 staat klaar om gelanceerd te worden. Ondertussen zoekt NASA naar een (commerciële) opvolger voor het ISS. Alleen is maar de vraag hoe de astronauten daar gaan geraken. Crew Dragon is weldra einde verhaal. En het verhaal van Starliner moet nog steeds beginnen. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: Eén van de laatste foto’s afkomstig van Sophie Adenot. Rechts van de Nijldelta zien we een Soyuz-capsule terwijl op de voorgrond links zich de ondertussen vertrokken Cygnus-module bevindt. De foto dateert van 26 september. Foto: ESA/Sophie Adenot.
