The drone mission is a top-secret project that will deploy research satellites into space for further experiments. US Air Force

The US Air Force has sent its reusable high-tech drone X37B into space for its sixth secret mission. The U.S. Air Force said the drone was similar to a smaller version of the space shuttle, which was retired in 2011 by the U.S. space program. It said it would spend several months in orbit where it would conduct several experiments.
Shortly after the drone test, Secretary of Defense Mark Asper tweeted, "Congratulations on the sixth mission of the X-37B reusable spacecraft. A huge Atlas V launch vehicle shook the ground at 9:55 a.m. The roaring drone, also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV), was launched with a roar. US Air Force Secretary Barbara Barrett said earlier this month that the drone was a top-secret plot. Brett, who also recently formed the US space force, said the drone would deploy a small research satellite called Falcon Set-8 to increase Could be conducted.
He said the X37B mission would perform more experiments than any other previous mission. Among the experiments were: testing the effects of radiation on seeds and other materials, converting solar energy into radio frequency microwave energy on Earth. Includes can be moved. The X37B is 29 feet (9 meters) long and has a wingspan of 15 feet (4.5 meters). The Pentagon has released images of the drone, but so far only a few details have emerged about its mission and capabilities.
