Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2023/35–664

India blijft het ruimtevaartnieuws bepalen. Maanlander en het maanautootje zijn gezond en wel. En ondertussen is er ook een sonde met succes gelanceerd om de zon te onderzoeken. Verder zien we een hele drukte ontstaan rond het ISS, met de komst van Crew 7 en het vertrek van Crew 6. Ondertussen maakt in Rusland de bemanning van Soyuz MS-24 zich klaar om die van Soyuz MS-23 (euh Soyuz MS-22) af te lossen. En in Boca Chica blijft het wachten op de goedkeuring van de FAA om voor de tweede keer een Starship te lanceren. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuw Uit De Ruimtevaart.
