Afgelopen week waren er drie lanceringen voor SpaceX en een oplossing voor de lekkende Soyuz. Het ISS kende een ruimtewandeling die niet helemaal volgens plan verliep. En langzaam maar zeker lijkt het testprogramma in aanloop naar de eerste orbitale lancering van een Starship van start te gaan. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
