I think the mission of the X-37B USSF-52 is to go to GEO orbit and closely observe the PLA's latest YG-41 optical reconnaissance satellite. This satellite has a huge deployable mirror, which will greatly enhance the PLA's perception capabilities. This is also the reason why the X-37B is carried on the larger Heavy Falcon. The previous launch plan was not enough to support such a high-orbit mission. At the same time, it had to be launched after the launch of the YG-41.
I think materials testing in the Van Allen belts is pretty unlikely. The inner belt are dominated by mostly protons up to the 400MeV energy range, and the outer belt in GEO are more dominated by electrons. You can get pretty high fidelity tests on materials on earth by testing with electron/protons or even gamma rays, even accounting for synergistic effects, such as vacuum, thermal cycling, atomic oxygen, ext... This would be a pretty expensive for something that could be tested pretty easily on earth.

While it's probably doing all of the things that the Air Force stated, my guess that "space domain awareness" is the primary mission. They're likely using it to image and intercept EM emissions of adversaries' satellites in order to catalog their capabilities and purposes. Russia has been very active in these activities with traditional satellites, but unlike a space plane that can land to refuel and retool, the traditional variety only have so much delta-v to change their orbits.

The shuttle was not a mistake. A lot was learned from it. It's like saying the Mercury program was a mistake. But you are right that the X-37B is the most cost effective vehicle for what it does. But it doesn't do everything we need in or from space.
The space shuttle was not a mistake. The mistake was how NASA used it and all the engineering failures. I could see the shuttle as a taxi to the moon. The bays could be fitted for passengers. One of NASA’s biggest mistakes
I remember seeing a picture of an older version of one when I was a kid in elementary school, and shuddering out of fear and revulsion at the sight of the thing.
My theory, going way back to when it's existence was first made public, was that it's primary function is temporarily replace essential military communication satellites in the even of an enemy state finding a way to destroy our current infrastructure. If the Space Force (so cool saying that) had a fleet of these laying around they could pretty easily be outfitted with communication tech to fill the gaps in coverage created by the loss of existing infrastructure.
Why not just launch ordinary satellites then? These cost way more to make and especially when enemy can shoot down satellite, wouldn't it be financially too risky? Besides, you can shoot way more comm sat into orbit using the same rocket class then shooting just one of these
It slso carried a payload of field mice for organic experimentation. The mice were exposed to X-rays allowing genetic reconfigurations producing twins in potential parent mice.
The future of space exploration is with robotics. Life support systems take up a lot of resources that can be used to advance space exploration even further.
WSJ, how many models are there of the X37b, i ask because i caught it docked onto the I.S.S. I believe it to be C model a little help please on identifying which one I have on you tube for the world to see 🤔
The X37c is meant to test compartments on reentry and stress at hypersonic speeds it is not manned, it would not dock at the ISS nor does it have the capability to. What in the world makes you think you saw it docked at the ISS?
The 37b can not dock with the ISS either, it has no PMA, CBM or APAS , it also has no attachment for the SSRMS. Second the other nationals aboard the ISS would not have the clearance to operate or interact with the X37 series. You can put the foil back in the cupboard.

The only thing that makes sense in building such a spacecraft ( not to say the USAF does things that make sense) is that it could re-enter the atmosphere or skip off it to cange its orbit. So it's primarily a recognizance satellite. It's like the X20 Dynasoarer without a pilot. The Germans were developing such a space plane in the 1940s.
@@Gnomezonbacon okay, smartie pants. The reason for developing the X20 was the same reason the Sangers recognized when they proposed it and the reason the Germans would have had if they were to have developed it.
Does this mean that even developing countries are strong enough that when China becomes a developed country or a global leader, it will be 1000 times larger than it is now?
I’d assume a company would have to pay for a staff or service responsible for Bot setup, monitoring, maintenance and intervention. Like FSD, I’d also assume, the more complex the job the more human intervention will be required. No telling how much assistance Bot will require/job. But it’s likely it go down as Bot matures. I suspect Telsa will recommend a Bot to human ratio to accomplish particular tasks. e.g. Intervention rate * N bots = N humans support required.
This is my point exactly. Everything has to be a race. Earthlings cant agree on anything even when we arent on earth. It is never going to change but if America and Russia could just put everything aside for once and make the space race into a baton change then maybe we would get to Mars.
SDI Railgun (Reagan's Star wars) and Rods from God (Tungsten rods) are very known projects of space weapons. A space railgun can be tinier than a terrestrial railgun, because space has no atmosphere.
You'll never get to Mars without my lunar land claim. You have the GPS coordinates. Study it. 2123 says that site is the cheapest and only way to get to Mars.
I figured it was as simple as delivering tungsten rods with rockets attached to em. I can't figure out what he would say that weapons speculation is completely unfounded it seems like an excellent idea if you want to sink an aircraft carrier
my guess is someone is trying to figure out how to transition between atmosphere and "vacuum". this technology would allow fighter pilots to literally fly INTO SPACE and deliver payloads or conduct surveillance
At about 02:48 in this vudeo: The space vehicle shown in that painting is configured differently from the X-37. In the painting the vehicle has winglets and no tail surfaces. The X-37 has a sort of V-tail and no wingtip winglets. Also, the vehicle's nose section in the painting _seems_ to be different from the X-37. I should add I am viewing this on my smartphone, so I might be misinterpreting something. *EDIT→* The wing shown in the painting is also more of a delta wing configuration.
SO hard to intercept an object in orbit. Seems, best I recall, we caught the Hubble and did some work on it. Make regular trips to the ISS. Back in the 60's we were making links to capsules with space craft that have WAY less computer capacity than my Apple watch. We went to the moon with less capacity. How hard can it really be. Sometimes the Egg Heads make me wonder.
@@nebble58 The USofA military tracks every scrap of anything in orbit 24/7. I'm quite sure other nations do the same thing. It doesn't take an Einstein to calculate an orbit down to the inch after enough points in the orbit.
All satellites have some capability to maneuver. But I seriously doubt that the average satellite has the "intelligence" to see the plane coming and think, "I don't want that thing to capture me so I will start maneuvering to avoid it." It takes ground control to maneuver the thing around. AND, it's capability is very limited. Usually only enough to maintain a stable orbit. Not go chasing off all over the sky.
I can sense the level of perfectionism Shelby has, from her streamlined tailored jacket to the incredibly small breathing space between a clip and the follow up commentary. Great video but let loose, breathe a little, in the videos and in life. It’s okay.

Well, they're a communist controlled country. If they have space dominance they may get military dominance. If they get that then they may attempt a war with the U.S. Currently, they're playing the silent war game. China and Russia are constantly probing all computers connected to the internet in the U.S. every few seconds. They're hacking our computers. They're attempting to purchase land in the U.S. They have spy's in the U.S. which is much easier to do since we have an open border in the south. We may purchase goods from them, but China and Russia are enemies to the U.S. and would love to take over the most powerful nation in the world. I don't know about you, but I know communist rule is the opposite of the freedoms we have in the U.S. The Chinese people in some areas are attempting to revolt. The Chinese government is attempting to wipe out any Muslims in their country. What do you like about China that you hope it's successful in dominance over the free World? (U.S. and it's allies).
Any guesses as to what the U.S.’s X-37B and China’s Shenlong might be doing in Space?

The mission is secret. Not the plane. Shouldn't be that hard to understand
The dream chaser is a stolen Soviet design.
I always theorized that it was used to track satellite orbits.
Long term human stasis for extended missions to Europa.
We can track satellites from the ground. This is for taking them out of orbit if anything.
geosynchronous orbits are 22,000 miles out, it is in a low earth orbit, but i guess anything is possible.
All the Chinese space programs is shown as animation. Wonder what the real thing looks like
Isn't it great that US technology flows so seamlessly to China. Its almost as if they have flies on the wall or something.
Can easily jam GPS satellites in case of war.
Star navigation was reinstituted at some higher learning academies when we finally realized that.
Secretive, on youtube???
Well, the doors are open in space because they probably blew out😹🤣🙀 after all, it's Boeing. Just kidding, really amazing
I wonder how much intel I can get from point Nemo
