Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2022/41–621

Het lijkt of op ruimtevaartvlak er steeds meer en meer lijkt te gebeuren. Er zijn alweer zes lanceringen, waarvan één mislukte. Er was ook een suborbitale mislukking die de aandacht trok. En er zijn een reeks interessante lanceringen op komst, zoals Falcon Heavy, Electron vanop Wallops, de eerste Virgin Orbit lancering vanuit de UK en een Indische lancering voor OneWeb. Het internationale ruimtestations ISS kent een geheel nieuwe bemanning. Met vorige week een wissel van de bemanning in het Russische segment, en afgelopen week de wissel in het Amerikaanse segment. Het Chinese ruimtestation bereidde zich dan weer voor op een nieuwe uitbreiding. Terwijl in Boca Chica Super Heavy en Starship verder worden voorbereid op een orbitale lancering is er een nieuwe lanceerdatum voor het Space Launch System. En misschien wel de grootste uitschieter deze week was de bevestiging dat DART zijn doelstellingen gehaald heeft. Dat en – inderdaad – nog véél meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
