Snippet:
In June, a secretive unmanned Chinese spaceplane closely monitored by US military analysts released a small satellite hundreds of miles above Earth in an orbital region crowded with commercial and military satellites. The object then looped around another Chinese satellite before returning towards the spaceplane, according to US space-tracking firm LeoLabs.
