United States Space Force Reserve X-37B spatial plane He went down to Earth on Friday after spending 434 days in orbit performing mysterious tests.
The unmanned plane made in Boeing landed at the base of the Vandenberg space force in California at 2:22 am that “broke a new land” by completing a variety of trial and experimentation objectives, the USSF said in a statement.
The space plane was launched from the NASA Kennedy Space Center In Florida By Spacex’s Falcon Heavy Rocket in 2023 in what was his seventh mission. The aircraft is solar energy, reusable and operates remotely. Space.com pointed out that most of its useful charges remain classified.

The space force said the tests while in a highly elliptical orbit demonstrated the “robust maneuvering capacity of the aircraft.”
The technique implies the use of the resistance caused by the atmosphere of the Earth to change its orbit more efficiently while spending a minimum fuel, Sopace Force said.
While it was in orbit, Mission 7 tested “awareness technology experiments on space mastery” that aim to improve knowledge of the United States’s space force on the space environment, the agency said.
After the acrobra in a low terrestrial orbit and complete its test and experimentation objectives, Mission 7 successfully carried out its exorbit and landing procedures.

“Mission 7 opened new paths by showing the capacity of the X-37B to achieve its proof and experimentation objectives in the orbital regimes.” General Chance Saltzman, head of space operations of the space force, said in a statement.
“The successful execution of Aerobray maneuver It underlines the compromise of the space force to push the limits of the new spatial operations in a safe and responsible way. “
The space force shared several images of the aircraft after it landed. In an image, a group of people with danger costumes approaches the secret level.
Lieutenant Colonel Blaine Stewart, director of the X-37B program, said the mission marked a significant milestone in the continuous development of the agency’s dynamic mission capacity.

“The operation of mission 7 in a new orbital regime, its novel acrobrailing maneuver and its proof of awareness experiments on spatial domain have written an exciting new chapter in the X-37B program,” Steward said.
Last month, the space force shared a rare image From Earth while performing experiments.
