The spaceplane launched by China last week into orbit amplifies the signals transmitted to Earth when flying over the west coast of the United States, Scott Tilley said. This may indicate the presence of an underground ground-based signal receiving station on the west coast of North America or on a ship off the coast, he believes.
After the launch of the spaceplane, six new objects appeared in low-Earth orbit. Two of them are presumably satellites that he has launched. Three more, according to the expert, may be fragments of the launch vehicle and its upper stage.
The first flight of the spaceplane took place on September 4, 2020 and lasted a day. It was launched for the second time on August 4, 2022 and stayed in Earth orbit for 9 months. This flight of the Chinese spacecraft is the third and has been going on for a week.
