Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2022/15–595

Terwijl de Axiom 1 bemanning stilaan een einde zien komen aan hun uitstapje naar het ISS, terwijl de Crew 4 bemanning zich klaarmaakt voor haar lancering, terwijl de Shenzhou-13 bemanning veilig en wel naar de Aarde is teruggekeerd, terwijl het SLS blijft worstelen met de Wet Dress Rehearsal is er nog steeds een oorlog in Oekraïne. Ook in deze NUDR kijken we naar de gevolgen voor de ruimtevaart. ESA schrapt de samenwerking met de Russen, nu ook wat een aantal maansondes betreft. Er blijft onduidelijkheid over wat Rusland met het ISS wil. Satellieten worden gehackt, andere worden gestoord, Starlink en commerciële aardobservatiesatellieten spelen hun rol. Iedereen wil zijn militaire aanwezigheid in de ruimte versterken. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
