The secretive X-37B space plane snapped this picture of Earth from orbit
The US Space Force shared a picture captured last year by one of the X-37B's onboard cameras. The space plane is currently carrying out its seventh mission.
“An X-37B onboard camera, used to ensure the health and safety of the vehicle, captures an image of Earth while conducting experiments in HEO in 2024,” the Space Force wrote on X. One thing we have been told about the current mission is that it marks the first time the Boeing-made X-37B has tried out a maneuver known as aerobraking, or a more fuel-efficient method of changing orbit through “a series of passes using the drag of Earth's atmosphere.” The Space Force said back in October that the vehicle had begun the process, and the latest update indicates it was successful. Coinbase has announced that the SEC under President Trump has put an end to legal actions regarding an allegation that the company ran an unregistered security exchange.
