China's reusable test spacecraft has released a seventh unidentified object nearly six months after its launch, following six other objects that emitted repeating signals. The purpose of these objects remains unclear, with speculation ranging from subsatellite deployment to hardware ejection. The Chinese government states the spaceplane is testing reusable technology and conducting space science experiments.
A top secret Chinese spaceplane, named Shenlong, has released six mysterious objects into orbit and is emitting strong signals over North America. The objects are being tracked by the US Space Force, but their purpose remains unknown. Amateur astronomer Scott Tilley has been monitoring the signals and believes they are targeting a location near British Columbia, Canada. The spaceplane launched just 10 months after the US shot down a Chinese spy plane. The US and China have both shown interest in each other's spaceplanes, but no images of the Chinese craft have been made public.
China's secretive spaceplane, Shenlong, has released six mysterious objects into Earth's orbit during its third mission. Amateur astronomer Scott Tilley has been tracking the objects, which are emitting various signals. One object appears to closely follow the spaceplane, while others emit intermittent signals without accompanying data. This is not the first time the spaceplane has released mysterious objects into orbit, and given the secrecy surrounding China's space program, their purpose remains unknown.
China launched an experimental and reusable spaceplane into low Earth orbit, accompanied by six mysterious objects trailing behind it. These objects are emitting signals, but their purpose and the nature of the signals remain unclear. Amateur astronomers and satellite trackers are monitoring the objects, with some noting that the signals appear to contain limited data or repeating patterns. The purpose of these additional satellites and China's testing objectives are still unknown.
