China has secretly tested the space plane, flies like a rocket, can be used again
China has made strides in the direction of reusable space transportation. According to the report of SpaceNews, China on Friday tested a reusable suborbital vehicle. The spacecraft took off from the Jiquan Satellite Launch Center and landed at the Alexa League airport in the Mongolia region, about 800 km away. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CSC) gave information in this regard by issuing a statement. This spacecraft is capable of carrying both crew and payloads.
No photo released,
although no video or picture of this test was released by the space agency. Not only this, no information has been given about the timing of the flight. At the same time, what kind of fuel technology has been used for this and at what altitude it was not even told. According to the news running on the Indiatimes website, only this has been told in the press release issued by the space agency that the spacecraft used Integrated Aviation and Space Technology. This indicates that it has made a vertical takeoff and landing horizontally.
Indicated in 2017,
this test has been done just after the test flight of the reusable experimental spacecraft in September 2020. Even then the mode of flight was similar. According to the report, that experiment was considered to be the beginning of the reusable space concept. However, no picture of that prototype was also revealed. Now after the latest flight, the Chinese space company has said that these two models can be used together to create a fully reusable transport system. China had given indications to the world in 2017 itself that it intends to make a reusable spacecraft in 2020. At the same time, by 2045, China is preparing to build a nuclear powered shuttle.
