The U.S. military's X-37B robotic space plane just passed 900 days in orbit on its latest hush-hush mission, adding to the program's flight-duration record.

The current mission is the sixth for the X-37B program and is therefore known as OTV-6 ("Orbital Test Vehicle 6"). It launched on May 17, 2020, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, and it's unclear when it will end.

OTV-6 is the first X-37B flight to use a service module to host experiments. The service module is an attachment to the aft of the vehicle that allows additional experimental payload capability to be carried to orbit.

All kinds of rumors and conspiracy theories about what this little guy is doing. Pretty sure it’s a platform for testing new technology or it’s just a fancy spy satellite...

Project Thor, Rods from God?

How cool, is it manned?

Nope

Interesting idea, but doesn't sound like it's a payload specialist.

But since we are doing it, obviously orbital chemtrails.

The X-37B returned to earth today after a record 908 days in orbit.

"The return marked the end of the sixth mission for the X-37B, which is owned and operated by the U.S. Space Force. The plane launched on May 17, 2020, carrying for the first time a service module that augmented how much it could take into space."

It's a fancy spy platform. It can change its orbit by using its wings to skim the atmosphere and surprise our enemies as to its location. It's also been known to follow the Chinese space station.

How are we going to practice the accuracy of dropping bundles of telephone pole sized tungsten darts from orbit without anyone noticing this?

Maybe it’s doing a full spectral analysis to gather data on the UAP threat.

Yeah that "data" will be needed for the false flags.

I wonder what the plan is for that "service module" that allows it to carry much more weight? Got payload written all over it.
