The Haolong ( Chinese for “dragon”) spacecraft has entered the engineering phase and will be ready for space in the near future.

The spacecraft has a large wingspan, measuring eight meters ( 26.25 ft ) in width and about 10 meters ( 33 ft ) long, with a high lift-to-drag ratio.

The design was one of several concepts issued in response to a solicitation by the China Manned Space Agency for low-cost and commercial cargo spacecraft.

These will provide logistical support for China 's Tiangong space station.
