US Space Force to launch not-so-secret military spaceplane

Description:

The U.S. Space Force’s secretive X-37B spaceplane is set for its eighth mission on Aug. 21 from Kennedy Space Center, launching atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The uncrewed, reusable spacecraft, built by Boeing, conducts technology tests and experiments in orbit, often staying in space for 12–24 months. This mission will focus on laser-based inter-satellite communications and advanced quantum navigation, allowing the craft to operate without GPS. Since 2010, the X-37B has spent over 4,200 days in orbit and traveled more than 1.3 billion miles, landing like a plane after completing missions, ABC News has reported. Space Force emphasizes the project’s role in enhancing resilience, security, and innovation for U.S. orbital operations. read more: 👍 Like this video to stay updated on groundbreaking space missions and U.S. space technology. 💬 Comment below—what do you think about the X-37B’s role in advancing military and scientific space research? 🔗 Share this video to spread awareness about the Space Force’s secretive but powerful orbital projects. 💰 Want to support the channel?
