    Space Force's X-37B space plan...

  3. #US #military’s #X37B #spaceplane stays relevant with launch of another mission
    Now, on Mission 8, the #spaceplane heads back to low-Earth orbit hosting quantum navigation and laser communications experiments. Few people, if any, envisioned these kinds of missions flying on the X-37B when it first soared to space 15 years ago. At that time, quantum sensing was confined to the lab, and the first laser communication demonstrations in space were barely underway.

  11. "X-37B Spaceplane Showed New Techniques in Latest Flight" by Air & Space Forces Magazine (#FPNF Fediverse presence not found - if you know them, invite them) - #Boeing #X37B uncrewed #military spaceplane returned from 435 days on orbit to land at Vandenberg in California. This flight demonstrated orbital aerobraking capability. At less than half the previous mission's length, it was the first time a flight was not longer than previous ones. airandspaceforces.com/x-37b-sp #USSF #space #aviation #avgeek

  14. Die US Space Force hat das erste Foto des geheimen #X37B-Raumgleiters aus dem Orbit veröffentlicht. Es zeigt die Erde aus großer Entfernung und offenbart eine höhere Umlaufbahn als bei früheren Missionen. winfuture.de/news,149069.html?

  15. Das geheime #X37B-Raumflugzeug der US Space Force führt erstmals ein "Aerobraking"-Manöver durch. Ziel: Umlaufbahn effizient ändern und Treibstoff sparen. Wichtiger Schritt für zukünftige Weltraummissionen. winfuture.de/news,146476.html?

  16. Secretive #X37B #Spaceplane To Use Aerobraking Maneuvers To Rapidly Change Orbit
    Details showcase high maneuverability and underscore long-standing questions about its capabilities. #US #SpaceForce, to which -37Bs are assigned, announced planned orbital maneuvers as part of Orbital Test Vehicle 7 (#OTV7). “Use of the aerobraking maneuver – a series of passes using the drag of Earth’s atmosphere – enables the spacecraft to change orbits while expending minimal fuel.”
