Het Artemis-programma kende afgelopen week twee hoogtepunten. Uiteraard was er (eindelijk) de geslaagde (!) lancering van het Space Launch System. De Orion-capsule is ondertussen mooi op weg naar de Maan. Maar er was ook CAPSTONE, veel minder in het nieuws. Maar de sonde kwam als eerste ooit terecht in een NRHO, de baan van de toekomstige Lunar Gateway, het mini-ruimtestation dat een grote rol moet gaan spelen in het Artemis-programma. Dat en nog veel veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
