Unmanned US Military Plane Back After Two Years in Space
Unmanned US Military Plane Back After Two Years in Space
RE: http://www.ozy.com/presidential-dail...cing-out-77359 It’s back with a bang. After nearly two years in orbit, the Air Force’s secretive X37-B space plane touched down at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center yesterday, reportedly waking up nearby residents with a sonic boom. The space drone’s 719-day trip was the longest of the program’s four missions. Military personnel say the X37-B has been testing space’s effects on various material samples and reporting on the performance of a new thruster system designed for advanced satellites. A fifth mission launches later this year. More: (Photo on site only) What is Boeing X-37B?

The Air Force took to Twitter to announce the feat. This was the X-37B programme's fourth successful test, significant as it is the first time the vehicle has both launched and landed at a single home port - the Kennedy Space Center.
