US Space Force releases first image of X-37B after its seventh mission

The U.S. Space Force released the first public image of its X-37B space plane in orbit, showing it operating at a higher altitude than before. Its seventh mission tests new technologies, studies radiation effects, and explores new orbital regimes. The X-37B performed "aerobraking" maneuvers to change its orbit efficiently. While the mission timeline is secret, the previous flight lasted 908 days. China is also advancing reusable spacecraft technology, recently completing key engine tests for future rockets.
