China werkt verder aan zijn eigen ruimtestation. Met de lancering van drie nieuwe bewoners begint men aan de afwerking van dat ruimtestation dat later dit jaar uitgebreid zal worden met twee nieuwe modules. Ondertussen blijven NASA, Roscosmos en de andere partners samen werken aan en in het ISS. Of dat Internationaal Ruimtestation nog een toekomst heeft, gezien de oorlog in Oekraïne, is een groot vraagteken. Een misschien wel even groot vraagteken is hoe de op stapel staande samenwerking tussen Rusland en China wat de Maan betreft, zich gaat ontwikkelen. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: De drie nieuwe bewoners van het Chinese ruimtestation: v.l.n.r. Cai Xuzhe, Chen Dong en Liu Yang.
