Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2023/38–667

Twee mislukte lanceringen in één week tijd, het gebeurt niet zo vaak. Ceres is een kleine Chinese lanceerder, maar met Electron verdwijnt er (wellicht maar even) een kleine lanceerder op de Westerse markt. Benieuwd of SpaceX zijn lanceertempo nog moet opdrijven. Ook benieuwd of zondagavond OSIRIS-REx zijn vracht netjes gaat afleveren. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart.

 

Bij de foto: Op de bijgevoegde foto zie je beelden van een tijdje geleden, toen OSIRIS-REx zijn buit probeerde op te bergen in de Sample Return Capsule. Die capsule moet nu zondagavond op Aarde arriveren. Afbeelding: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/University of Arizona/Lockheed Martin.

Om af  te ronden – Afkortingen en ruimtevaartterminologie.
Wie zijn weg niet altijd vindt in de vele afkortingen die in de ruimtevaart gangbaar zijn, waar bepaalde begrippen niet altijd even duidelijk zijn, ... wel, daar is een oplossing. Bij SWF (Secure World Foundation) hebben ze een lexicon uitgebracht met de vele afkortingen, termen en begrippen. 't In het Engels (wie zorgt voor een Nederlandstalige versie ?) maar de moeite waard om eens op zijn minst door te bladeren. De PDF vind je onderaan bijgevoegd artikel.


Een aanvulling daarop is de "Astronautical Glossary" van Jonathan McDowell.


Veel lees- en kijkplezier,
