X-37B Robotic Space Plane Demonstrator To Launch On April 19
If you have an interest in space related goodies and robots, thereupon the news that the X-37B robotic space plane is scheduled for launch on April 19th from Florida is certainly good news for you. The X-37B is a demonstration vehicle designed for checking in space and will be launched next month on top of an Atlas V rocket. It will spend an unspecified about of duration in orbit, which could be a few days, as it has an endurance of 270 days, before
coming back to land autonomously at the Vandenburg Air Force Base. We’re not certain whether that will help realize our dreams of making a shopping trip on the moon, but hopefully it’s a step in the right direction.Permalink: X-37B Robotic Space Plane Demonstrator To Launch On April 19 from Ubergizmo | RSS Sponsor: Win a Fellowes Microshred Paper Shredder!
