Maandag 29 augustus is het D-Day voor Artemis en SLS. Tenminste als de countdown zonder problemen verloopt. Die moest – toen deze NUDR een beetje vroeger dan anders werd samengesteld – nog opgestart worden. Voor updates kan je eventueel kijken via https://ww.facebook.com/groups/ruimtevaartnieuws/. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
