Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart – Week 2026/05–788

Uiteraard volgen we met argusogen de terugkeer naar de Maan met de vlucht van Artemis II. Terwijl deze NUDR afgewerkt wordt, zijn de voorbereidingen op de Wet Dress Rehearsal gestart. Verrassend nieuws was er van Blue Origin waar ze even gaan stoppen met toeristen te lanceren. Verrassend nieuws was er ook van Elon Musk want nu wil hij één miljoen satellieten gaan lanceren. Zucht. Dat en nog veel meer ook deze week in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart.
