Wandenberg Space Force Base, California. (AFNS) – The X-37B Orbital Test vehicle-7 (OTV-7), the US Space Force’s Dynamic unmanned spaceplane, successfully rebel and Wandenberg Space Force Base, California, landed in EST at 7 March, 2025 to 02:22 pm.The US Space Force launched the X -37B at the Wandenberg Space Force Base in California, to use its intense ability to launch and recover its system at several sites. The Mission 7 of the X-37B was the first launch on the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket in a high egg-class orbit. In class, Mission 7 fulfilled a series of testing and experiment objectives aimed at displaying the strong maneuver capacity of X-37B, helping to mark the space domain through testing of space domain awareness technology experiments.
The successful completion of the novel aerobreaking maneuver showed agile and flexible abilities, which provides the X -37B Space Force of the United States. Drawing on decades of decades learned from previous space missions, this technique includes the use of atmospheric drag during several passes to change the classrooms while spending minimal fuel.
“Mission 7 broke the new land by displaying the ability of X-37B to flexible to flexible its testing and use objectives in orbital regions. The successful execution of aerobreaking maneuvers underlines the US Space Force’s commitment to carry forward the limit of novel space operations in a safe and responsible manner, ”said the head of the leading space operation General Chance Saltzmann.
While in class, Mission 7 tested the space domain awareness technology experiments, aimed at improving the knowledge environment of the United States space force. These technologies are important for the benefit of all users of the domain, rapidly congestion of space and the ability of American space force to conduct space operations in the atmosphere. After aerobreaking in the orbit of low earth and fulfilling its testing and experiment objectives, Mission 7 successfully demonstrated its deorbit and landing processes.
Commenting on the achievements of Mission 7, Director of the X -37B program, Lieutenant Colonel Blane Stewart said, “The operation of Mission 7 in a new orbital rule, its novel aerobreaking maneuvers, and the space domain awareness experiments for its testing has written an exciting new chapter in the X -37B program. Considering together, they mark an important milestone in the ongoing development of the dynamic mission capacity of the US Space Force. ,
The seventh mission was orbit for over 434 days.
