A Chinese spacecraft, designated Lihong-1 Y1, successfully completed its suborbital flight test mission in northwest China on Monday.

The recoverable payload capsule landed safely using a parachute-recovery system and was retrieved at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.

The spacecraft is capable of reaching altitudes of approximately 120 kilometers, providing a highly stable and multi-functional experimental environment lasting more than 300 seconds. It features low launch costs, operational flexibility and payload recoverability.
