A breakthrough mission: X-37B landed in California on March 7, 2025. This unmanned American space aircraft He spent over 434 days in orbit, i.e. 14 months It was launched at the end of 2023. The same mission OTV-7 (Orbital Test Vehicle-7) came to an end, and the US Space Force has repelled great success. The director of the X-37B program, Lt. Col. Blaine Stewart said that the mission opened “a new exciting chapter”, and during it managed to achieve “significant milestones”.
A difficult maneuver went: – 7. The mission wiped out new routes, presenting the X-37B ability to flexibly achieve test and experimental goals in various orbital conditions. The successful performance of the aerodynamic braking maneuver emphasizes the involvement of the US Space Force in moving the boundaries of new space operations in a safe and responsible way – said the head of space operations, General Chance Saltzman.
USA in euphoria: The performance of “Aerodynamic braking maneuver” was considered the greatest success of this mission. It showed “agile and flexible possibilities of” American cosmic forces. This technique includes the use of atmospheric resistance during many flights to change orbit with minimal fuel consumption. During the mission, it was also tested “Advanced space technologies“, but the details of these experiments are secret. Us Space Force only states that” a number of test goals have been achieved. “
