Space studies continue around the world in recent years. One of the countries that has taken important steps in space studies is China. Launched in August 2022 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northern China, the experimental spacecraft landed on Earth today. Here are the details!
The spacecraft remained in orbit for 276 days.
Continuing its space studies, China sent its “reusable” experimental spacecraft into space in August 2022. The vehicle successfully landed on the landing site at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northern China today, after being in orbit for 276 days.
The successful landing marks an important step forward in China’s reusable spacecraft technology. However, it seems to open important innovations in the method of going to and returning to space. In addition, with this success, China is also taking a step towards the use of space for peaceful purposes.
Many statements came from China. According to the statements, Beijing is thought to develop a spacecraft such as the X-37B of the US Air Force, an autonomous space plane that can stay in orbit for years. In addition, not much details were shared about the location and mission of the Chinese spacecraft.
Considering that space studies have increased recently, China’s breakthrough seems to have an important place. It is especially important for future space missions to be more convenient and cost-effective.
