X-37B Spacecraft Returns
The U.S. Air Force’s secrecy-shrouded X-37B unmanned spaceplane returned to Earth early Friday after much more than 7 months in orbit on a categorized mission, officials mentioned.
The X-37B was released by an Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on April 22, 2010, which has a maximum mission length of 270 days.
Also referred to as the Orbital Test Vehicle, the Boeing-built spacecraft was originally a NASA venture ahead of currently being taken over by the army.
