NASA stelde de bemanning voor Artemis III voor, met een ESA-astronaut als één van de vier. PROBA 3 doet het weer. Japanse H3 doet een geslaagde return-to-flight. En SpaceX doet een geslaagde IPO. Toevallig vind je in deze aflevering ook heel wat recente artikels over ODC’s – Orbital Data Centers. Dat en nog veel, veel meer in deze Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart.

Bij de foto: Elon Musk zal wellicht een gelukkig man zijn. Niet vergeten dat SpaceX al een tijdje (veel) meer is dan een ruimtevaartfirma.
