X-37B Home

The U. S. Air Force has announced its secretive spaceplane, the X-37B, landed safely at Vandenburgh Air Force Base yesterday after 469 days in Earth orbit.

The USAF won't say exactly what the spaceplane was doing all that time.  It will only say the X-37B is a test vehicle which is being used to test new technologies.

Boeing, meanwhile, is working on an X-37C, which would be a bigger version of the X-37B and capable of carrying up to six astronauts to and from ISS.
