China Secret Space Mission Alarms US: America’s senses blown away by China’s new secret space mission! The nagging fear of losing dominance in space began; Know the dragon’s ‘space plane’ move

A new war for supremacy has broken out between the superpowers in the infinite depths of space. A new and highly confidential space mission of China – Secret Reusable Space Plane (Shenlong) and its orbital activities have raised the heartbeats of the US Defense Ministry (Pentagon) and the US Space Force. America is beginning to fear that if China continues its pace, it will soon end America’s decades-old monopoly in space. From a reporter’s perspective, experts tracking satellites and the US Space Command have expressed deep concern over China releasing mysterious objects and transmitting signals in low Earth orbit (LEO) without any prior notice.

Why did China’s secret space plane increase America’s tension?

This Chinese space plane is an unmanned reusable spacecraft, similar in appearance to America’s famous X-37B:

• Mysterious activities in space: During the recent mission, this Chinese space plane has released some unknown payloads and small satellites while circling in the orbit for a long time, which have been seen hovering close to the US military satellites.

• Anti-Satellite and Surveillance Capabilities: Pentagon generals believe that China is testing ‘counter-space’ technologies through this secret mission—such as jamming enemy satellites, intercepting signals or destroying them in the event of war.

• Signal beaming over North America: According to the report of satellite trackers, when this Chinese spacecraft passes over North America, it sends strong signals to the ground, which has deepened the fear of intelligence spying.

“America may lose its dominance” – US Space Force warns

Top officials of the US Space Command have openly admitted that China’s space program is not limited to scientific discoveries only, but its main objective is to gain military edge:

1. China’s leap in space race: China has established its own ‘Tiangong’ space station and is working rapidly on the project to send humans to the Moon by 2030 and build a lunar base.

2. Cheap and fast-tap launch: China is placing dozens of commercial and military satellites into orbit every year, due to which the gap between America and China in space surveillance capability has reduced rapidly.

Has the new race of ‘space war’ started?

Experts say that while America is trying to maintain its lead through SpaceX Starshield and NASA, China is investing a large part of its defense budget in space technology. This polarization of space can completely change the geopolitical balance in the future.
