Space Force's X-37B is Back After 14 Secretive Months in Orbit
The U.S. Space Force's X-37B spaceplane (which looks remarkably like a space shuttle that someone forgot to put the windows in!) completed its seventh mission this week, touching down at Vandenberg Space Force Base after 434 days in orbit. Although the mission is classified, Space Force officials, said that it followed a highly elliptical orbital path while conducting various tests and experiments. They also described the mission as operating "across orbital regimes,” whatever that means…is classified!
