Met slechts drie lanceringen werd het een wat kalme week. Maar daarom niet minder interessant met een meteorietinslag op Mars, de JWST-versie van de “Pillars of Creation”, een nieuwe kans voor Psyche maar vooral met een vooruitblik naar wat komen gaat. Met in de week die komen gaat, de lancering van een nieuwe module voor het Chinese ruimtestation en een lancering van een Falcon Heavy. Rusland dreigt ondertussen om satellieten van de vijand uit te schakelen. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
