Deze Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart werd op zaterdag afgesloten. Als u dit leest weet u of iSpace en SpaceX een lander naar de Maan heeft gestuurd en of NASA zijn capsule veilig en wel terug op Aarde heeft gekregen. Afgelopen week waren er verder 3 Chinese lanceringen, maar de lancering door SpaceX van 40 OneWeb-satellieten viel misschien wel het meeste op. Hét nieuws was wellicht de bekendmaking door Yusaku Maezawa van zijn medereizigers voor het dearMoon project.  Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week. Het nieuwsoverzicht over de lotgevallen van de (inter)planetaire sondes, samen met enkele andere nieuwstopics worden naar volgende week verschoven omwille van tijdsgebrek deze week.
