The latest mystery mission of the U.S. Air Force’s robotic X-37B space plane has now passed the 400-day mark.
This mission — known as Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-5) — was rocketed into Earth orbit on Sept. 7, 2017, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The uncrewed space plane is carrying out secretive duties during the X-37B program’s fifth flight.
