The US military has always maintained a high attention to my country's aerospace industry. Recently, the US Space Force discovered that a reusable test spacecraft in my country, commonly known as the space plane, has been flying in space for 3 months, and has released a new "mysterious device" from the inside.

Although the US is still confused about the specific use of the device, this does not prevent them from judging others by themselves again. They believe that this is our country preparing for the future " space fighter ".

Picture Note: The US media’s idea of ​​spacecraft released by my country

From the description of the US Forbes magazine , the Chinese spacecraft that the US is staring at is a reusable test spacecraft that was sent into space in August this year by my country using the Long March 2F launch vehicle . As for the "mysterious equipment" released by the spacecraft, they are just general speculations. These are some auxiliary equipment equipped by my country for on-orbit service technology verification, and the specific details are completely unclear.

In addition, the US media reports actually show from the side that the US has been keeping a close eye on my country's test spacecraft. The US side has discovered it just as the internal equipment was released. This spacecraft is so valued, naturally related to its reusable nature and has been active in space for a long time.

Except for a few spacecraft such as "Dragon" spacecraft , most of the spacecraft in the world today are disposable products, sent by rockets into space orbit , and returned to Earth after performing the mission, but cannot be used again. Since several space shuttle were scrapped one after another, the United States has always wanted to redevelop a reusable spacecraft.

Therefore, the United States has developed the X-37 orbital test aircraft. The X-37 has previously performed an orbital mission with a total duration of nearly two years. In terms of operation mode, my country's test spacecraft is very similar to the X-37. They are sent to high altitude by rockets or aircraft, then enter space orbit, return to the ground after completing the test mission, and can be reused. If the relevant test can be successful, the emergence of this test spacecraft will indeed be conducive to my country's development and utilization of space.

It is worth noting that although my country has always emphasized the peaceful use of space, Americans have other opinions on this test spacecraft that has been flying in space for three months. " Forbes " played the "Spring and Autumn Writing" in the report, claiming that the US side still did not know "what China is doing on people's heads." In addition, the one who stared at this spacecraft in my country was not NASA , but the US Space Force. The outside world can actually see that this is another time for the Americans to judge others by themselves, believing that our country's new spacecraft has secretly military uses, just like the X-37 it developed itself, in preparation for building the space fighter .

The US X-37 project does now have clear military attributes. At the beginning, this project was still dominated by NASA, but after the experimental X-37A achieved certain results, the subsequent X-37B was changed to the US Air Force-led leadership.

Although the US military repeatedly emphasized that the X-37B does not have the conditions to become a space fighter. However, the continuous experiments of the US military after taking over the X-37 project, as well as the Boeing 's disclosure that the X-37C can carry people in the future are deepening the outside world's speculation. More importantly, the X-37B circles the earth in just about an hour. If space fighter jets can be developed based on it, the US military can achieve "one-hour global strike." What is plaguing the US military now is that the X-37's track change capability is too weak, and it can only adjust small angles and cannot change directions at large angles.

Even if it is not upgraded to a space fighter in the end, the reusable spacecraft can become a missile. You should know that most ballistic missiles around the world now send the missiles into high altitudes first, allowing the missiles to fly in suborbit for a period of time, and when approaching the target, they turn their heads and fly downwards, and with the acceleration of dynamic potential energy, they break through the opponent's anti-missile system and strike the target.When the US military took over the X-37 project, it was probably considered to use it as a strategic deterrent weapon for long-term flight in space.

We must clearly be that although our country's experimental spacecraft looks very similar to the United States' X-37 project, my country's development and utilization of space is essentially different from the United States. The United States has always had the intention to turn space into a battlefield. As early as the Cold War, the United States began to develop the anti-satellite weapon ; after the end of the Cold War and became the only superpower, the United States still created the X-37 project; as the world gradually became multipolarization, the United States formed the space force.

Picture Note: Trump signed an order to form the US Space Force. As the sixth largest military branch of the US military, our country has always called for the peaceful use of space. my country can count weapons and equipment that can be used in space warfare. In fact, only the SLC-18 active phased array radar that was unveiled at the Zhuhai Air Show recently and can detect low-orbit space. All kinds of missiles in our country have not deliberately developed in the direction of anti-satellite weapons. After sending the test aircraft into space in early August, my country's aerospace department also made it clear that this test is to provide technical support for the peaceful use of space.

Therefore, no matter how the United States judges others by itself, at this stage, this spacecraft in our country and the "mysterious travel companion" of the spacecraft are experimental and exploratory projects launched for the peaceful use of space.

Of course, judging from the current development of reusable spacecraft in China and the United States, the so-called space war will not become a reality in a short period of time. But if the United States insists on its own initiative, continues to promote the space arms race, and insists on igniting the war into space, our country will naturally not be beaten passively.
