Super Washington's spacecraft showed up
If the experiment is successful, Washington will make other countries understand in the race for aerospace technology, Americans are still taking the upper hand, their position is not easily taken away by others .
The US media reported that, on April 21, Atlas missiles will be launched from the Florida launch pad to bring the latest US Air Force X37-B supership into orbit. People interested in aerospace and military technology paid special attention to this event, the secrets of the X37-B super spacecraft gradually revealed.

The X37-B spacecraft after being launched into Earth orbit will travel in space with an 'unspecified' period. After finishing the journey X37-B will switch to autopilot mode to return to earth and land at the air base located in the state of California.
The information about this spacecraft is hidden by the Pentagon, even Boeing won the project and proved particularly cautious about the press. It was not until the 26th US national aerospace conference that the US air force spokesman revealed some information regarding the X37-B.
The US Air Force X37-B spacecraft is about to be launched into orbit.
Accordingly, the most special feature of the X37-B spacecraft compared to other spacecraft is that autonomous autonomous technology is carried out to bring it back to earth after completing its mission, however the US Air Force declined to reveal any more specific information around the technology.
American aerospace experts say that if the plan moves smoothly, the X37-B can make a 270-day flight in the universe with orbit flying from 203 to 926 km from the ground.
In addition to information on technical and technological features, the cost of manufacturing X37-B spacecraft is still in secret until this point. The airship control center was established and operated according to the model of a command post, the whole experimental process of the manufacturer had to comply strictly with all commanders from the control center of the spacecraft.
About the information, the experimental space team No. 3 (roughly translated) is an important part of the US Air Force Aerospace Command, which specializes in conducting experimental operations, inspecting and surveying equipment. aerospace.
Currently all the leading aerospace industry experts in the United States are summoned to the control center of the ship under the experimental universe No. 3 team to implement this special task.
For the X37-B supersonic test, many countries are paying close attention and monitoring, especially to Russia and China.
If the experiment is successful, Washington will make other countries understand in the race for aerospace technology, Americans are still taking the upper hand, their position is not easily taken over by others.
