China's Spaceplane Unleashes Enigmatic Wingmen in Orbit

China's Shenlong spaceplane has released six unidentified objects into Earth's orbit during its third mission. These objects, designated as OBJECT A, B, C, D, E, and F, are emitting various signals and are being tracked by the U.S. Space Force and amateur observers. Amateur astronomer Scott Tilley has analyzed the objects and found that they exhibit different radio behavior compared to previous missions. Speculation suggests that these objects could be service modules, inspector satellites, or test items. Observers are advised to monitor for close encounters between the objects in the coming days.
