The X-37B, a top secret robotic space plane, is set to execute its first aerobraking maneuver to alter its orbit and enhance its national security missions.
Frank Kendall of the Air Force noted that the X-37B is currently engaged in national security missions in space, demonstrating significant advancements in aerospace technology.
The unmanned craft is designed for conducting classified military experiments, likely carrying advanced spy equipment, satellites, or potential weaponry to ensure strategic advantages.
By using aerobraking, which involves dipping into the atmosphere, the X-37B can slow its speed and change its orbit, increasing its operational secrecy.
