Classified X-37B Spaceplane Returns To Earth
About two weeks after the Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs https://www.zerohedge.com/military/first-orbit-image-released-classified-x-37-spaceplane
the first-ever in-orbit image captured by Boeing's X-37 spaceplane, the US Space Force revealed early Friday that the top-secret spaceplane has returned to Earth.

the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle-7 (OTV-7) "successfully deorbited and landed" at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, on early Friday around 0222 local time.
Images posted on X by the space agency show military personnel in laboratory protective suits, like NBC and/or BSL-4 suits, approaching the X-37 after touchdown at Vandenberg.
More images were posted on X of the X-37B, which concluded its seventh mission in orbit.
This time, X-37B remained in space for 434 days.
"While on orbit, Mission 7 accomplished a range of test and experimentation objectives intended to demonstrate the X-37 B's robust maneuver capability while helping characterize the space domain through the testing of space domain awareness technology experiments," Space Force wrote in a statement.
USAF Public Affairs posted this image from X-37B late last month during a series of "https://www.zerohedge.com/military/first-orbit-image-released-classified-x-37-spaceplane
."
With each successive top-secret mission, the X-37B spends long and longer time in orbit:
OTV-1: launched on Apr. 22, 2010 and landed on Dec. 3, 2010, spending over 224 days in orbit.
OTV-2: launched on Mar. 5, 2011 and landed on Jun. 16, 2012, spending over 468 days in orbit.
OTV-3: launched on Dec. 11, 2012 and landed on Oct. 17, 2014, spending over 674 days in orbit.
OTV-4: launched on May 20, 2015 and landed on May 7, 2015, spending nearly 718 days in orbit.
