"China's Space Plane Deploys Mysterious Orbital Object"

China's reusable space plane, Shenlong, has released another unknown object into Earth's orbit after 168 days in space. The object, cataloged by the U.S. Space Force, could be a subsatellite or hardware ejected before the mission's end. This follows similar activities from previous missions, with the space plane conducting reusable technology verification and space science experiments.
