The success of the new air maneuvering showed the graceful and flexible capabilities provided by the X-37B space power in the United States. Depending on contracts from the lessons learned from previous space missions, this technique includes the use of atmospheric clouds for multiple passes to change orbits with minimal fuel spending.
“Mission 7 broke a new ground by presenting the X-37B capacity to achieve the goals of the test and experimenting with flexibility through tropical systems. The head of space operations said, the successful implementation of the air maneuver confirms the commitment of the American space force to push the boundaries of the new space operations in a safe and responsible manner.
While in the orbit, Mission 7 experienced the experiments of space awareness technology aimed at improving the knowledge of space in the United States in the space environment. These technologies are necessary for the ability of the American space power to perform space operations in a crowded and increasingly competitive space environment, in favor of all field users. After the antenna to the low -Earth orbit and the completion of the targets of the test and the experimentation, Mission 7 succeeded in conducting Deorbit and landing procedures.
Commenting on Mission 7 Achievements, Director of the X-37B program, Lieutenant Colonel Blain Stewart, “Mission 7 process in a new tropical system, a new airway maneuver, and tested for space field experiences, wrote a new chapter in the X-37B program. Since they are considered an important landmark in the continuous development of the ability of the dynamic mission to the American space power.”
The seventh mission remained on orbit for more than 434 days.
