U.S. DIA releases first clear image of China’s Shenlong spaceplane

The U. S. Defense Intelligence Agency released a declassified high-resolution photograph of China’s reusable Shenlong spaceplane, showing it docked to a service module and providing new design details. The 4. 5-centimeter-per-pixel image, captured by a U. S.

military satellite, offers the clearest view yet of the vehicle’s shape and its attached module. Earlier DIA releases had shown a Maxar-captured picture of the winged vehicle and noted its similarity to the U. S. Space Force’s X-37B. The agency’s report also listed four missions flown since 2020 and warned that the platform could support directed-energy weapon development.
