Starlink-satellieten en de Maan. Twee thema’s die zowat elke week wel een hijna hoofdrol opeisen. Maar deze keer zijn het toch de planetoïden die als een rode draad doorheen deze NUDR geweven zijn. OSIRIS-REx leverde een beetje Benuu bij de Aarde af. En de lancering van Psyche is een weekje uitgesteld. Voorlopig lijkt het daarbij te blijven (in tegenstellling tot vorig jaar). Dat en ruimteafval en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
