Het had enige voeten in de aarde maar uiteindelijk arriveerde ook Crew 6 bij het ruimtestation. Samen met de vorige week gelanceerde en onbemande Soyuz MS-23 is de situatie aan boord van het ISS weer genormaliseerd. In deze NUDR vind je ook de oorzaak voor de mislukte lanceringen van Vega C en Rocket 3.3 maar blijft het wachten op de oorzaak voor de ontplofte New Shepard van vorig jaar.

We doken ook in de archieven en verzamelden nog allerlei berichten eerder dit jaar verschenen rond satellietconstellaties, ruimteafval en oorlog in de ruimte..

Dat en ook nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Bij de foto: Van links naar rechts op de foto zie je de Rus, Fedyaev, de Amerikanen Hoburg en Bowen alsook van de Verenigde Arabische Emiraten Sultan Alneyadi. Samen vormen ze de bemanning van Crew 6. Er waren technische problemen bij de lancering, er waren technische problemen bij de koppeling, maar uiteindelijk liep alles goed. Foto: NASA/Kim Shiflett.
