Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2021/43–570

Ook in deze NUDR weer heel wat ruimtestation gerelateerde berichten. Zoals het uitgestelde vertrek van de Crew 3 bemanning. “Grappig” is ook dat ondanks alle lof in het verleden voor de Crew Dragon, is dat het toilet ook voor SpaceX ingenieurs een moeilijk te nemen horde blijkt te zijn. Dat gaat wat geven als ze met honderd in Starship naar Mars willen vliegen. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: Neen, deze Crew Dragon mikt niet op de Maan. Dat is iets voor Starship. Deze Crew Dragon moet naar het ISS, maar de lancering werd met enkele dagen uitgesteld omwille van het slechte weer. Foto: SpaceX.
