Met een geslaagde (tweede) Wet Dress Rehearsal voor Artemis II leek heel even het licht op groen te staan voor een lancering begin maart. Maar nu blijkt dat de raket weer terug naar de VAB moet gerold worden. De terugkeer naarde Maan zal nog even moeten wachten.

Wat Starliner betreft, lijkt het dat we ook nog even moeten wachten op een nieuwe lancering. De deels mislukte bemande testvlucht (met Butch en Suni) wordt door de nieuwe NASA Administrator gelijk gesteld met de fatale laatste vluchten van Challenger en Columbia. Er volgde al een rapport en daar krijgen zowel Boeing als NASA serieus naar hun voeten.

Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.

Belgisch ruimtevaartnieuws. 

Een carrière in de (Belgische) ruimtevaart.
Op de website van BELSPO is men begonnen met het publiceren van een reeks interviews met allerlei mensen die op één of andere manier werkzaam zijn in de ruimtevaartsector. Meer details bij BELSPO – Space Career Profiles.
Misschien ook even wat aandacht schenken aan een reeks BELSPO Space Talks, gesprekken met een reeks mensen uit de ruimtevaartsector. Dit zijn vrijwel allemaal gesprekken van enige tijd geleden, maar daarom niet minder interessant.
