and it did launch!
>On September 4th, China successfully launched a reusable test spacecraft using the Long March II F carrier rocket at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
>This is the 14th launch of the Long March II F carrier rocket
Apparently, it is not only a clone of the X-37, but was launched to the same orbital plane of the X-37B that is currently in orbit, so they plan to check each other out!

Speaking of space planes, China may actually launch one in the next week or two.

>Call for ships AIS trackers' assistance: please help look in the next few days if the Chinese tracking ship Yuan Wang 7 stops off the western African coast near Namibia. This would be huge proof to an elusive Chinese spaceplane mission that might happen within the next 1-2 weeks.
