Today, the mysterious experimental orbital aircraft Boeing X-37 (also known as X-37B) was launched again from Cape Canaveral.

This is an unmanned reusable aircraft, which is often called spyware. The bottom line is that officially the US Air Force did not disclose details as to why the X-37 was created and what it does in orbit. And this despite the fact that the current launch is already the sixth, and the first was completed ten years ago. By the way, the last time the device spent a record 780 days in orbit.

How much the device will spend in orbit this time is unknown. But it’s known that, among other things, the X-37 will put into orbit the FalconSat-8 satellite, designed to carry out five different experiments. It is also worth noting that this is the first X-37 mission under the supervision of the US Space Forces. Atlas V rocket launched into orbit.
