Reusable experimental spacecraft returns

China Daily  

China's reusable experimental spacecraft returned to Earth on Friday morning after completing its 268-day orbital journey, according to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the country's northwestern desert. The test's success has indicated that China's reusable spacecraft technologies have matured, and they will provide a convenient and affordable commuting method between outer space and Earth, the center said in a brief news release, without elaborating. China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, the nation's two largest suppliers of rockets and spacecraft, are running their own programs that share the same goal — making their space products reusable — to reduce users' costs and improve operational efficiency. A space industry insider who wished to remain anonymous said that reusable spacecraft will be crucial when it comes to a space power's capability and status in the international space community.
