NASA’s OIG publiceerde een rapport over de geschrapte Artemis-onderdelen. Blij word je niet van die lectuur. En het ISS kent niet alleen lekken, deze week komt er ook een ruimtewandeling om de robotarm te herstellen. De Roman Space Telescope arriveert op het KSC en ESA’s Euclid toont een indrukwekkende opname van het centrum van onze Melkweg. Dat en nog veel meer in het Nieuws Uit De Ruimtevaart van deze week.
