The successful test flight of China's suborbital spacecraft

On July 16th, China's suborbital spacecraft successfully completed its test flight,The maximum flight altitude of an airplane is about 30 kilometers, and the low orbit perigee of an artificial satellite can reach 200 kilometers, which is the activity space of a suborbital spacecraft.

The suborbital spacecraft looks a bit like a scaled down space shuttle and requires a pilot. To achieve practicality, suborbital flight must have the ability to fly around the world in two hours.

Of course, achieving this capability requires additional power, which could be rocket engines or the use of scramjet engines.
