The Boeing-built spacecraft serves as a testbed for new technologies for both the Defense Department and NASA. Its first flight was in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis was a very important mission and our teams worked shoulder-to-shoulder to ensure a successful launch,\u201d Brig. Gen. Kristin Panzenhagen, commander of Space Launch Delta 45, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While details about the duration of its mission and most of the payloads X-37B is carrying are secret, one of its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2020\/05\/07\/here-are-a-few-of-the-experiments-hitching-a-ride-on-the-air-forces-secret-space-plane\/\" target=\"_blank\">experiments<\/a> is a NASA project called Seeds-2, testing how different seeds react to long-term exposure to radiation in space. The Space Force said in November the mission will also experiment with \u201cfuture space domain awareness technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese tests are integral in ensuring safe, stable, and secure operations in space for all users of the domain,\u201d the service said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The X-37B\u2019s most recent mission, OTV-6, returned in November 2022. During that mission, the vehicle included a service module that allowed it to carry more experiments than previous iterations. Those included the Naval Research Laboratory\u2019s Photovoltaic Radio-frequency Antenna Module experiment \u2014 which used solar power to create radio-frequency microwave energy \u2014 as well as two NASA projects similar to Seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That mission also included FalconSat-8, a small satellite developed by the Air Force Academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday\u2019s mission was the second to fly on a SpaceX rocket and the first to lift off on the company\u2019s Falcon Heavy vehicle. The United Launch Alliance\u2019s Altas V rocket flew the first five missions, and the sixth was carried by SpaceX\u2019s Falcon 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
