The secret Chinese spaceplane has been photographed, it has docked with a space module

China's secret spaceplane, Senlung, has been under testing for years and was recently photographed connecting to a satellite. The image, taken by the WorldView 3 satellite, shows the Senlung's cargo bay open, indicating potential activities during its mission. While China has not confirmed the existence of the spaceplane, it has been observed deploying objects into orbit. The purpose of these operations remains unclear, but they may involve the disposal of unnecessary equipment for safer landings. The U.S. has a similar vehicle, the Boeing X-37, while Europe is beginning its own developments.
