X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV)

[archipeppe]

I know the ins and out of the basic vehicle and still have some of the documentation. What have you done X-37 or space flight related, if anything? Or are you just an another of the unwashed masses posting on forums and adding to the misinformation?

Absolutely true.

What most people miss about the X-37 is that there was a NASA X-37A before the USAF/USSF X-37B.
Essentially, by aerodynamical and structural point of view, they are the very same vehicles.

So the original NASA/Boing documentation should be more or less public access.
What the X-37B differs from the X-37A is the avionics and (most of all) its payload but the general characteristics remains the same.

Uhm, seems like X-37B OTV-8 made a little manoeuver last week...
