Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2023/21–650b

In dit tweede deel van NUDR650 krijg je berichten over ruimtestations en het Artemisprogramma. Met mogelijk weer uitstel voor Starliner, de vele ruimtewandelingen rond het ISS en de Russen die blijven tot in 2028.Ondertussen koos NASA Blue Origin voor de ontwikkeling van een tweede bemande maanlander, naast het Starship van SpaceX. Artemis zelf en dan vooral het Space Launch System lijkt aardig wat meer te kosten dan geraamd. 


Deel 1
– Lanceringen
Deel 2 – Het ISS en het Chinese ruimtestation, Artemis
Deel 3 – Starship en (inter)planetair nieuws.
