A reusable experimental spacecraft returned to Earth after completing its mission, which spanned a total of 279 days, Chinese State media Xinhua reported on Monday. 

The spacecraft landed at its scheduled time at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

No images of the craft have been released yet nor did the report provide additional information about what technologies were tested and where it orbited since its launch in August 2022.

China has in recent years made considerable advances in its space industry, so much so that it was revealed in December 2021 that China is building its space capabilities at "double the rate" of the US.

On July 3, 2022, NASA chief Bill Nelson said he was concerned about China's lunar missions because he believes Beijing intends to claim the moon for itself, while in September 2022, China accused Washington of seeking to militarize outer space, and recently announced last month, on April 7 that it will launch 12,992 satellites into orbit to rival Elon Musk's Starlink.
