Regular readers of this blog know I am fascinated with the X-37B. It has landed after 2 1/2 years in orbit. Story here. They are telling us more and more regarding what is being done on each mission, but the parts they aren’t telling us are the ones I find interesting. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger, who would be fascinated by this.)

Power from space?
The X-37B spaceplane, that up until now has conducted missions so ultra secret, that nothing other than the launching and landing are ever reported, is currently conducting a flight where, for the first time, we know at least part of what it is doing. Story here. (Post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Chinese X-37B?
Do the Chinese have their own version of the X-37B? It may have just landed after its first flight. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

X-37B
NASA and the USAF are launching the X-37B again. This time, they’ve released at least some info on what the X-37B will be doing while in orbit. I am fascinated by the X-37B and hope that one day we’ll know the full story of what it is being used for. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Well, this is interesting
A talk by the USAF Chief of Staff talking about having the F-22 and F-35 communicate and share information with the X-37B. Of course, as the article notes, this raises the ever-present question of exactly what the X-37B does and what sort of sensors it has that could share useful information with the fighters. Something fascinating is going on with thee X-37B. I just hope that one day we know what it is.

Its back. Regular readers know I am very interested in the X-37B. Like many people I don’t buy that it is just being used for research. When will the next one launch? (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

More X-37B stuff
Article here. The current X-37B in orbit has been there almost two years. It seems like the USAF keeps one in orbit at nearly all times. (Some great photos in this article. I may have to get the kit of this thing.)
