Chinese media reports that the unmanned spacecraft that the country sent into space last year is now back on Earth after orbiting our planet for 276 days.

There is not much information about the purpose of the spacecraft being in space, and there are also no specifications or images of the spacecraft. According to reports in Chinese media, the spacecraft landed horizontally, which leads observers to suspect that China's spacecraft is similar to the American spacecraft X-37B, which is shown in the image above.

The US's X-37B was developed by Boeing in collaboration with the US military. The spacecraft has so far been on a total of six missions in space. The latest mission ended in November last year after X-37B had been in orbit around the Earth for 908 days.
