#US Air force Launches X-37b Space Plane on 4th Mystery Mission The U s. Air force's X-37b space plane blasted into Earth orbit today,
The robotic X-37b space plane launched atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas v rocket today (May 20) at 11:05 a m. EDT (1505 GMT) from Florida's Cape canaveral Air force station.
But Air force officials have said that mission number four known as Orbital Test vehicle-4 (OTV-4) will concentrate less on the X-37b itself
director of the Air force Rapid Capabilities Office, said in a statement late last month.""With the demonstrated success of the first three missions, we're able to shift our focus from initial checkouts of the vehicle to testing of experimental payloads."
The Air force owns two X-37b spacecraft, both of which were built by Boeing's Phantom Works division.
But Air force officials have refuted long that notion, saying the X-37b is simply testing out technologies for reusable vehicles and future spacecraft.
Chris Hoyler, an Air force spokesman, told Space. com via email.""The unique aspects of the OTV allow us to mature these new technologies
"Air force officials have not said how long they expect OTV-4 to last, but the mission will be extended an one
The Air force has revealed that an advanced Hall thruster propulsion system and a NASA materials investigation are among OTV-4's scientific gear.
Air force officials said.""A more efficient on-orbit thruster capability is huge,"Maj. Gen. Tom Masiello, commander of the Air force Research Laboratory in Ohio, said in a statement last month."
