The photo shows the spacecraft in orbit with open solar panels; The report emphasizes that it is a key component of replaceable space systems capable of putting objects into orbit, conducting tests and returning to Earth. China, according to the DIA, has since 2020 carried out a number of long-duration Shen spacecraft missions (including flights lasting more than 260 days with Tamarinus and interaction with related satellites), and introduced the Haolong-1 cargo project.
