China has launched an “experimental reusable spacecraft”. This is a secret spaceplane like the Boeing X-37
On Friday, China carried out two launches of space rockets at once. The first, Chang Zheng 4B, launched the TECIS spacecraft into orbit to monitor the level of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere, while the second, Chang Zheng 2F, launched what was called an “experimental reusable spacecraft.”
China did not name the launch time and did not disclose any details about this “apparatus”. Officially, it was only reported that the launched apparatus would be used for the peaceful exploration of space and for testing technologies in orbit. Upon completion of all assigned goals, it will land in a given area in China.
And although China does not want to reveal the cards, there is speculation that the Chang Zheng 2F launched a space plane or spaceplane into orbit, which is ideologically similar to the Boeing X-37. This is the second flight of the Chinese spaceplane: the first took place in September 2020. Reportedly, work on it started in 2005 as part of the Shenlong project, but since 2007, when the spaceplane was partially declassified, nothing more has been reported about it. Until now, its size, weight and ability to launch a payload into space are unknown.
But, since Chang Zheng 2F was used for launch, the space plane turned out to be not small, because this launch vehicle is used to launch the Shenzhou spacecraft with taikonauts on board to the Tiangong space station.

The Americans installed the most powerful launch vehicle in the world at the moment on the launch pad. SLS is due to make its first flight on August 29
NASA has placed SLS rockets on the launch pad for launch as part of the Artemis 1 mission.
The launch is scheduled for August 29th. The Artemis 1 mission involves testing the Orion spacecraft and launching it to the moon. The mission will last from 39 to 42 days. Among other things, one of the most important moments of the mission will be the return of the ship to Earth. Orion will not just return, but will enter the upper atmosphere twice. The first entry will be partial with a further return to a higher orbit, after which a full re-entry and landing will follow. Thus, NASA will test the ship for strength.
As for the rocket, once launched, the SLS will be the most powerful rocket currently in use. It is capable of launching up to 95 tons of cargo into the reference orbit, and in the future, after modifications, the figure can be increased to 130 tons. It is capable of delivering 27 tons to the moon.
NASA expects that the upcoming launch will attract a huge number of people to the beach near the spaceport. Cocoa Beach city officials estimate that between 100,000 and 200,000 people will come to watch the launch.

Starship has never flown before, but SpaceX already has a contract to launch a satellite with this rocket.
SpaceX has won one of its first Starship launch contracts. Despite the fact that she has not yet had a single full-fledged launch, the mission in question is scheduled for 2024.
Japanese company SKY Perfect JSAT Holdings has chosen Starship to launch its Superbird-9 communications satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit.
There is no other data on cooperation with SpaceX in the corresponding press release. Including the unknown amount of the contract. As for the satellite, we are talking about the HTS class (High Throughput Satellites) – these are communication satellites with high bandwidth. The company says that the satellite configuration can be flexibly adjusted to the needs of a particular customer.
The mobile high-performance processor Intel Core i5-13600HX was first lit up on the Web. It will be the successor to the Core i5-12600HX, but it will have more cores.
If the current generation CPU has 4 large cores and 8 small cores, then the Core i5-13600HX will already have 6 large and 8 small cores, which should make it noticeably more productive. No other data yet, but based on what we know about Raptor Lake desktop CPUs, the Core i5-13600HX could also get a nice increase in frequencies, although all this will come at the expense of increased power consumption.
Raptor Lake mobiles are expected early next year. Whether Intel will have processors with more than 16 cores in this segment is not yet clear.
