China successfully conducted a flight of a suborbital reusable test vehicle today, launching from Jiuquan & landing horizontally at Alxa Zuoqi in Inner Mongolia. Vehicle could be used as 1st stage of two-stage to orbit reusable space transportation system. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/ncJePW1znFexqkSbZ-0YRg …
Very little in terms of info. A secretive test that follows the test flight of an "reusable experimental spacecraft" last Septemberhttps://spacenews.com/china-carries-out-secretive-launch-of-reusable-experimental-spacecraft/ …
Xinhua in English: "The success of the flight has laid a solid foundation for the development of China's reusable space transportation" http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2021-07/16/c_1310065734.htm …
For some context, check out this excellent mapping of Chinese space plane projects by @JeanHDevillehttps://www.google.com/amp/s/china-aerospace.blog/2020/05/11/chinas-spaceplane-projects-past-present-and-future/amp/ …
We still haven't seen an image of the reusable experimental spacecraft, and nothing from this new test so far. Well be able to check satellite imagery of the airport before too long though.pic.twitter.com/oxaAvEOzS8
Would love to see some video!
This project have some military background(but not 100% military, otherwise we wouldn’t hear anything about it this quick) So I guess there will be no video, not even pictures...
What should we expect? Some kind of mini shuttle or some kind of mini Dragon?
“Vehicle could be used as 1st stage of two-stage to orbit reusable space transportation system.” That implies something similar to Virgin Orbit’s Cosmic Girl + LauncherOne tandem. But if the 1st stage takes off/launches vertically then perhaps it is like a mini Space Shuttle 1/2
I’m thinking this will eventually be manned, unlike the x37
Hmmmm
no visual information…. reusable 1st stage…. for vertical launch???
