Our planet is circulating for 400 days on its mysterious mission a mysterious secret NASA spacecraft named X-37B.

Official information from Wikipedia says:

Boeing X-37 (aka Orbital Test Vehicle) is an American experimental unmanned space shuttle. It is intended to test new technologies in orbit and return to the atmosphere. Originally a civilian project managed by NASA, the United States Department of Defense took over in 2004.

In November 2006, the United States Air Force announced that it was developing its own variant called the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) for its purposes. The vessel is carried into low orbit by means of an ordinary rocket, thanks to its size it fits into the aerodynamic cover. Until now, the Atlas V rocket has been used, on the next OTV-5 mission, the use of the Falcon 9 carrier is planned. The shuttle is covered with a heat shield, similar to the Space Shuttle. This allows you to return to the ground, where it automatically lands on the runway, similar to a regular aircraft. Due to the fact that the whole program is secret, other goals of the program are known only very generally. So far, probably two specimens have been produced, the third is in production.

The shuttle is not capable of carrying a human crew; it is planned for the X-37C version.

X-37B Orbit Test Vehicle-5

X-37B X-5B Space Shuttle Trip Orbital Test Vehicle-5 (OTV-XNUMX) 7 started. September 2017. The mysterious spaceship was launched aboard one of Elon's SpaceX Falcon 9 Masks, from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. His current mission, like all previous missions, remains a profound secret. In fact, official reports have so far revealed insufficient details about the OTV-5 mission, but it is believed that the current mission may be part of a larger air force plan in the development of the so-called Space Force. Recently (June 2018), President Donald Trump announced that he was leading the Pentagon to create the Space Force as an independent branch. A branch that would ensure American dominance in space.

The spacecraft is not big. It has a length of 8,8 meters, is 2,9 meters high, with a wingspan of almost 4 meters and weighs about 5000 kilograms. A secret "spy plane", as many have been capturing it, orbits our planet 320 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Its engines are powered by solar cells with lithium-ion batteries, allowing it to maneuver without problems. The secret space plane was built and developed by Boeing.

NASA's secret technology?

His payload remains a mystery. No one can safely say what a spacecraft has its payload, but we know it carries an American heat sink and experts will test the life of electronics and coolant heat pipes in space. Some authors claim missions carried out by X-37B carry a secret technology that is being tested in space. This mysterious technology (which remains shrouded in mystery) should “allegedly” assist the United States to achieve a dominant position in new space racing. Each of the previous spacecraft missions carried another secret "useful" cargo into space.

A spokesman for the Air Force explains:

“The fifth OTV mission continues to increase the performance and flexibility of the X-37B as a demonstration of space technology and a host platform for experimental payload. Based on the fourth mission and prior collaboration with experimental partners, this mission will host the Air Force Research Laboratory, Advanced Structurely Embedded Thermal Spreader for testing experimental electronics and thermal tube oscillating technology long-term stay in space. ”

The real purpose of the missions remains a secret guarded by the US Air Force.

President Donald Trump has announced that "space" is a matter of national security and that the United States cannot allow other countries - Russia and China in particular - to lead and pave the way. And so President Trump developed a new initiative to create a space force.
