Zeven lanceringen deze week. Met de lancering van een Crew Dragon met een nieuwe bemanning voor het ISS die met de meeste belangstelling ging lopen. Deels uiteraard omdat ondanks de oorlog in Oekraïne er voor het eerst sinds lang een Russische kosmonaute met een Amerikaanse capsule naar het ruimtestation gelanceerd werd. Van het Belgische front is er de verkoop van QinetiQ Space in Kruibeke. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
