Just a few months after wrapping up its seventh test flight in orbit, Space Force’s experimental vehicle known as X-37B is ...

Space Force is sending the X-37B up once again, this time to test laser communications and a “quantum inertial sensor.” ...

This mission will test the aircraft's GPS-denied navigation capabilities and hardened, laser-based communication systems.

The U.S. Space Force will launch the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle on Aug. 21, 2025, from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. The U.S ...

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, an experimental spaceplane developed by Boeing, is preparing to launch its eighth mission for ...

The mission will test laser communications using commercial satellite networks and the use of quantum inertial sensors in GPS ...

The space plane’s test flight will advance development of a new navigation technology based on electromagnetic wave interference.

Testing this tech will be helpful for navigation in contested environments where GPS may be degraded or denied,” said Gen.

The X-37B is a bit like NASA's Space Shuttle — however it is uncrewed and launched as a payload as opposed to on the side of boosters. According to Boeing, the X-37B has a body and landing operation ...
