Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2021/24–551

Het Chinese ruimtestation is goed uit de startblokken geschoten. Eerder werd de centrale module en een eerste bevoorradingsschip met succes gelanceerd. Afgelopen week arriveerden dan de eerste drie bewoners aan boord van Shenzhou 12.  Een andere – zij het minder positieve – uitschieter zijn de geheugenproblemen van de Hubble Space Telescope. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart.

Bij de foto: Shenzhou 12 is hier op weg naar een koppeling met de eerste module van het Chinese ruimtestation (foto CNSA).
