The Pentagon has released a rare photo of China's secret Shenlong (Divine Dragon) spacecraft in orbit. The image was taken by the commercial Maxar satellite and was included in the latest DIA report on space threats in 2026. Shenlong is a reusable unmanned spacecraft. It takes off on a rocket and lands on the runway like the American X-37B. Since 2020, China has already carried out four orbital missions. The device can maneuver close to other objects in orbit, and according to US intelligence, can be used not only for satellite inspection, but also for anti-satellite operations. VK Max Zen.
