China says it has effectively introduced a “reusable experimental area ship” with greater degrees of secrecy.According to space industry observers, it is a type of unmanned area aircraft similar to the X-37B operated through the U.S. Air Force and Space Force in recent years.
One more edition of the Rocket of the Great March of China, the 2F, put the area’s alleged aircraft into orbit.
A report through Chinese state media Xinhua announced Friday the launch of the Jiuquan satellite release media in northwest China.
“After an era of orbiting operation, the ship will return to the planned landing site in China.It will verify reusable technologies during your flight, offering technological assistance for nonviolent use of space,” he said.
The project took position under an additional secret veil, official launch photos or even the launch time made public.
“This suggests it’s not just an area plane, it’s an army area plane,” Harvard-Smithsonian Center astronomer Jonathan McDowell said Friday at a Zoom convention sponsored through the European Space Agency.
China had announced plans in the past to review an area aircraft in 2017, and there have been reports of the country’s outdoors for months now that the arrangements were underway.
The American X-37B conducted autonomous flights that lasted more than two years.It is known how long this new Chinese spacecraft will remain in orbit.
Satellite observer Michael Thompson noted that if it is a short mission, he may return to Earth in less than 24 hours:
