Chongfu Shiyong Shiyan Hangtian Qi [Maxar]

Chongfu Shiyong Shiyan Hangtian Qi (CSSHQ) is the first Chinese reusable test spacecraft.

It was launched in September 2020 on a CZ-2F/T.

The test spacecraft return to its intended domestic landing site after an unspecified period in orbit, during which technical validation of the reusable spacecraft and its systems will be carried out. Reportedly the spacecraft is a winged space plane. A leaked on-orbit photograph shows a similar configuration like the US X-37B with a larger service module.

It has returned to earth after 2 days in orbit with a landing near Lop Nor. It left behind an object in orbit, which was likely the service module.
