China’s secretive Reusable Experimental Spacecraft has released an unidentified object into orbit, prompting speculation about its purpose and potential implications for global space security . PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: China ‘s secretive reusable Shenlong, or “Divine Dragon,” space plane has reportedly released another unidentified object into low Earth orbit during its ongoing fourth mission, bringing the total number of payloads it has deployed since 2022 to at least nine. The detection occurred when radar equipment in New Zealand confirmed the release and identified the object as originating from the spacecraft. DETAIL: The Shenlong, which launches atop vertical rockets and lands horizontally like NASA ‘s retired Space…Open
NASA is working to keep the Swift Observatory from falling back to Earth. The agency has tapped startup Katalyst Space Technologies to raise the telescope into orbit. The company's CEO says the same robotic technology could one day help extend the life of the Hubble Space Telescope.
