SpaceX successfully launched secret aircraft of the US Air Force
The SpaceX rocket successfully launched the most mysterious US air space spaceflight, and the test vehicle can fly for many years in orbit.
Unmanned missiles Falcon replaces the X-37B aircraft departing from the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, yesterday, according to Space. This is the fifth flight of the space aircraft series X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) shaped like a tiny shuttle, marking the first time that billionaire billionaire Elon Musk has provided Transportation service for this test vehicle.

The US Air Force OTV space planes have spent more than 5 years in orbit after five missions. US authorities did not disclose the operation of the X-37B aircraft. The X-37B's first flight mission was 2010. The latest mission lasted nearly two years, ending in May last year when X-37B landed on the previous runway for NASA's shuttle spacecraft. .
Like the previous launches, SpaceX's propulsion stripped off the rocket and flew back to Cape Canaveral for reuse. In the previous missions of X-37B, the US Air Force used Atlas V missiles built by United Launch Alliance. They said they wanted to use different types of missiles for the OTV program to be able to launch quickly if needed.

The aircraft X-37B produced by Boeing is 8.8m long with wingspan of 4.3m. NASA's inactive shuttle has a length of 37.2m and a wingspan of 23.8m.
SpaceX stopped giving details about X-37B's orbit flight a few minutes after taking off at the request of the US Air Force. However, the company still streamed the process back to the landing zone at Cape Canaveral Air Station of the push floor."Falcon landed safely," said SpaceX's rocket launcher control. The cheers immediately resounded at SpaceX's headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

This is the return to the 16th successful ground of SpaceX's push floor. The boosters often land on unmanned ships at sea.
