Secretive X-37B Space Plane Launches
Space.com reported yesterday that the U.S. Air Force’s second X-37B robotic space plane blasted off from Florida on the afternoon of March 5th on a mystery mission. There was lots of secrecy around this launch, but space.com provided the following photo. I find it interesting that this little shuttle-like spacecraft could just about fit in the room I’m sitting in right now. I look forward to learning more of how this type of vehicle will be used in the future.
