Een micrometeoriet zorgde voor enig drama in het Chinese ruimtestation. De astronauten van de beschadigde Shenzou-20 keerden terug naar huis met Shenzhou-21 waardoor het trio van dit laatste tuig momenteel vast zitten in Tiangong. Ondertussen wordt Shenzhou-22 voorbereid op een onbemande lancering. Voor Blue Origin was er wel geweldig nieuws want al bij de tweede lancering van een New Glenn slaagde de eerste trap erin  om met succes terug te keren naar een platform op zee. En het gebeurt niet vaak, maar deze week kende we ook een mislukte lancering, met de Chinese Ceres 1. Dat en zowaar nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
