Uitschieter deze week is uiteraard enerzijds de geslaagde SLS-tanktest maar anderzijds ook het uitstellen van diezelfde SLS-lancering door de weersomstandigheden. Maar er was meer. Drie lanceringen (drie andere van afgelopen nacht schuiven we door naar volgende week) met o.a. een bemanning van twee Russen én een Amerikaan richting ISS. Er is de plotse interesse van allerlei landen voor Axiom-vluchten. In het Chinese ruimtestation was er een nieuwe ruimtewandeling. In Boca Chica begint iedereen uit te kijken naar november met een mogelijke orbitale lancering. InSight registreert een Martiaanse meteorietinslag en verder zitten velen stilaan op het tipje van hun stoel met de opkomst zijnde inslag van DART op Dimorphos. Er is een probleempje met het MIRI-instrument aan boord van JWST. Dat en nog veel meer raketnieuws in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: Bij het publiceren van deze NUDR was het nog niet geheel duidelijk, maar op het Kennedy Space Center wordt alles in gereedheid gebracht om het SLS terug naar binnen te rollen mocht de aankomende storm het vereisen. De Crawler Transporter staat al klaar. Foto: NASA/Joel Kowsky.

Na herhaaldelijk uitstel omwille van het weer worden 54 Starlink-satellieten dan toch gelanceerd.
