[/news/china/index.html China] has landed its secretive reusable experimental spacecraft back on Earth after a successful two-day test flight.  <br>Long March-2F carrier was launched into orbit last Friday from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in the northwestern Chinese region of Inner Mongolia.<br>It returned to the scheduled landing site as planned on Sunday, the official state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.  <br>The reusable experimental spacecraft, of which no pictures have emerged, was launched to test 'reusable technologies' during its flight and could lead to a 'convenient and

important breakthrough in reusable spacecraft research and is expected to offer convenient and low-cost round trip transport for the peaceful use of the space.'  <br>Orbital data later confirmed that the vehicle had been placed in an orbit at a similar height to China's previous crewed flights, [ ] reports. <br>The 'space plane' could take Chinese astronauts to and from China's planned future space station. <br>'A space plane is an ideal technology for atmospheric re-entry due to less brutal accelerations for the human body,' said Shenzhen-based space analyst Jean Deville. <br>The mission appears to have been carried out with low-key preparations and high-level security, and the specifics of the spacecraft are yet to be revealed. <br>No images of the spacecraft or its lift-off have yet to be released, and staff and visitors at the launch site were prevented from filming or discussing the project online, according to [http://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=reports reports]. <br>A copy of an official document circulated online warned people not to film on the launch site or discuss the project online, according to [ ].<br>The official memo read: 'All units should strengthen personnel security education and personnel management during missions to ensure that there is no leakage of secrets.' <br>  RELATED ARTICLES  [# Previous] [# 1] [# Next]
