US militarys mysterious X-37B space plane passes 500 days in orbit, but we still have no clue what its actually doing up there

2014-04-28 15:12:03| Extremetech

For just over 500 days, the US Air Force's mysterious X-37B OTV-3 robotic space plane has been casually orbiting the Earth. What's truly weird, though, is that its payload, current mission, and combat capabilities are completely unknown. X-37B OTV-3, one of the world's largest artificial satellites, has been up there for 500 days, shows no sign of coming down any time soon, and we have no idea what it's doing or what it can do.

SpaceX flawlessly completes first launch to geostationary transfer orbit

2013-12-04 17:27:57| Extremetech

SpaceX has successfully completed its first launch of a commercial satellite into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). This marks the seventh ever flight of the SpaceX Falcon launch system, and the second launch of the recently upgraded Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket. Impressively, except for a small glitch on its fourth flight, SpaceX has retained a perfect launch record. SES actually got a discount from SpaceX for the launch, presumably due to the added risk of this being the company's first attempt to reach GTO.
