Zes lanceringen de afgelopen week. Maar uitstel tot in november voor het SLS. Russische ruimtevaarders komen terug, maar een nieuwe bemande lancering naar het ruimtestation gaat nog enkele dagen op zich laten wachten. Een beetje onverwacht was het nieuws dat SpaceX misschien de Hubble Space Telescope gaat redden. Maar dé uitschieter deze week was ongetwijfeld de botsing van DART met Dimorphos die heel wat stof deed opwaaien. En dat was misschien wel onverwacht heel letterlijk te nemen. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
