X-37B Space Plane Returns In a Record-setting Triumph: When it first went to orbit, it was the property of the U.S. Air Force, then when it landed, it was owned by U.S. Space Force.

That’s how long the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle-6 spent conducting its last mission.

Times have changed as the X-37B was in space 908 days – coming down last November. The X-37B record-setting robotic space plane was in orbit for around 2.5 years. Now, we are learning more about what that craft was doing in space for so long.

X-37B: Full of Significant Experimental Data

The unmanned X-37B returned to earth at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on November 12. While some observers, including those in China, believe the X-37B was on some kind of military reconnaissance or even “bombing” mission, it appears the reusable space plane was focused on civilian scientific research. It is possible that there could have been some experiments of a military nature, but that remains classified and hidden from public view.
