"US and China's Secret Spacecraft Missions Coincide: SpaceX Delayed, China Launches Reusable Spaceplane"

China successfully launched its secret reusable experimental spacecraft, while the US Space Force's X-37B remains grounded due to delays caused by poor weather and launch site issues. The Chinese spacecraft's technical details and mission duration were not disclosed, but it is expected to operate in orbit before returning to China. The X-37B, scheduled to launch around the same time, is the US counterpart and will be its seventh mission to orbit since 2010. The US military has kept the X-37B's capabilities and objectives under wraps, while China's competition with the Pentagon has been cited as a reason for the spacecraft's continued importance.
