GoKawiilPentagon releases first full image of China's X-37B-like spaceplane
The US Defense Intelligence Agency has published a high-resolution photo of China's secretive winged spacecraft, taken by a commercial Vantor (formerly Maxar) imaging satellite in 2024. The image shows delta wings, payload bay doors, a dark heat shield and a rear service module with solar arrays, closely resembling the US Space Force's X-37B. China has flown four such spaceplane missions since 2020, including one currently in orbit since February.
