A new object (59884/2023-195G) associated with the Chinese CSSHQ space plane in an orbit of 602 x 608 km x 50.0 degrees has been cataloged. It appears to have been launched around 19:00 UTC on May 24.

During the previous flight, the Chinese plane also launched an unknown object. At the time, experts assumed it was either a secret satellite intended to study Shenlun’s flight, or a payload that turned out to be unnecessary anyway.
As you may remember, the Chinese spacecraft was launched into orbit for the third time on December 14, 2023. The launch took place at the Jiuquan Cosmodrome on the edge of the Badin Dzhara Desert in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
