I worked on the X-37 ALTV (Approach and Landing Test Vehicle) or as some sites call it X-37A.  The next phase is to build a bigger non-X vehicle.  This is still a test vehicle and is often referred to as the OTV (Orbital Test Vehicle).  The year long test was to basically see how long they could keep it aloft before running out of fuel and oxidizer.  It would seem they have their answer.  I transitioned off of the program in late 2003 and have been working various other spacecraft since, currently working CST-100.

Sounds very interesting. Makes me wish I would have studied science instead of weed and women in school.

What with China Pacific/IO expansion (String of Pearls) and the commensurate increase in sea/air operations/proximity...hopefully Space Force has a leg up on the competition.

500 hundred days and counting...

Sure would be nice to find a way to hack into that sucker and get it to spy on the DeepState and let us know what exactly the FBI, CIA, NSA et al are really doing and give us the ammunition to end the coup against Trump, the treason against the American people and the aiding and abetting of traitors within.

I know...I'm a dreamer...a clinger to the Founders vision...

I plead guilty.
