What on Earth in space? The government keeps silent as usual.
The mysterious flying object " X-37B " possessed by the US Air Force also returned around the Earth to the Kennedy Space Center for 718 days.
Although the mission and the budget are unknown at all, this landing was carried out in the daytime dignifiedly, and it returned to the earth while spreading a sonic boom (large acoustics due to the shock wave) that can be heard even by residents in the vicinity.
Please have a picture released by the US Air Force .
Something now broke the wall of sound speed Something passed over the house. Sonic boom!
X-37B is a reusable secret orbital testing machine (OTV Orbital Test Vehicle). It was developed by Boeing, it is unmanned, you can do long-term experiments on orbit. This time the fourth flight of the space flight (all missions are unknown). The return place is usually California instead of Florida. Why did you return to Florida through a private house this time? There is no way to know the reason.
We updated the longest universe stay record of 674 days at the time of the previous return in October 2014, and the staying days from the first flight in April 2010 totaled 2, 085 days. Last time the theory that the satellite surveillance of China was whispered for a long time is remembrance new.
It was May 20th, 2015 that flew the earthfor the first time. Both David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and Prince were all still alive, and those days when Donald Trump, who declared a president after a month, was not yet opposed to anyone.
Mr. Ron Fehlen, the head of the X - 37B development program director of the Air Force, immediately announced that "With the OTV - 4 safe landing, the X - 37B program." Even if it is not told, it can be understood by watching the public video.
Also Fehlen said "We updated the longest stay record again this time and also played the first landing to Florida, incredibly satisfied with the performance of the aircraft and boost the community of science and space research I am pleased that I was able to retrieve the data, I am proud of the efforts of the teams. "
The landing materials initially released by the Air Force are all three of the above images and two photos. ET is not reflected. Well, it was nice but unfortunate. I plan to fight if I return to the Earth in 2017 with the intention of the Earth in 2015.
And the following are 3 pieces which the Air Force made publicly. First of all, X-37B transported to the Kennedy Space Center.
Next, I took it from behind.
And the last is the hangar. "HOME OF THE X-37B" is a cute, it's a top secret .
Home of the X-37B :)
