The spacecraft was launched on December 15, 2023, on its third mission since 2020. Just four days after launch, amateur observers discovered the spacecraft releasing six mysterious objects into space. After days of monitoring, they recorded these objects emitting signals. In previous missions, Shenlong is also believed to have launched objects into space.

Chinese spacecraft has once again launched a strange object into space.

Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (USA) was the first to discover the object and share the information on social media platform X.

"This object could be a co-satellite or possibly a piece of hardware launched before the mission ends and it leaves orbit, similar to what the spacecraft's first flight did. It would be interesting if the spacecraft moved or landed early," McDowell wrote.

Amateur astronomer Scott Tilley, who has been tracking the Chinese spacecraft since December 2023, said the objects it launched have been transmitting signals in the North American region. He believes those signals are directed toward a ground station or a ship near British Columbia, Canada, where he lives.

Shenlong is a reusable spacecraft. It is launched using a Long March 2F rocket and will operate in orbit for a period of time before returning to Earth and landing like an airplane. The US also operates a similar reusable spacecraft called the X-37B, manufactured by Boeing. Information about the X-37B's exact operational capabilities or performance is not widely disclosed.

China has not specified the mission of the Shenlong spacecraft. Xinhua News Agency reported last year that during its orbital mission, the spacecraft would verify reusable technologies and conduct scientific experiments in space, aiming to provide technical support for the peaceful use of space.
