CSSHQ F2 / 2nd launch of the experimental reusable spacecraft on August 04, from Jiuquan at approximately 16:00 UTC. After careful checking of NOTAMs, I "wildly" assume this would be the 2nd launch of the experimental reusable spacecraft (可重复使用试验航天器) by a Long March 2F/T.
Long March 2F/T
Launch from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, no more information about this Chinese military launch, no information on the payload either, just a comment: the Chinese continue to catch up by replicating what the Americans are doing (Boeing X-37), the second space race in aerospace history.
Reusable Experimental Spacecraft (可重复使用试验航天器)
This launch coincides with the Chinese military maneuvers around the island of Taiwan after the visit of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives to Taiwan.
