Space Force Launching Secretive Experimental Spacecraft With Quantum Equipment on Board
Quantum of Orbit Less than six months after concluding a year-plus mission in orbit, the Space Force's top-secret X-37B space plane is gearing up for its eighth mission in just over 15 years. As the Orlando Sentinel reports, the enigmatic, Boeing-built spacecraft is set to launch from the Kennedy Space Center’s historic Launch Pad 39A later this evening, carrying some intriguing-sounding scientific equipment with it into orbit. The Space Force, …
A U.S. military spaceship, the X-37B test orbital vehicle, begins on Thursday, 21 August, of the optical flight in space. Most of the X-37B activity on orbit is secret, but serves part as a platform for recent generation experiments. One of these experiments is an alternative to GPS, using quantitative science as a navigation tool, with the help of a quantical energy sensor, shows Live Science.
The End of Traditional GPS? This Space Mission Is About to Revolutionize Our Lives
The upcoming mission of the US military’s X-37B orbital test vehicle, scheduled for August 21, 2025, is set to test an innovative quantum-based inertial navigation system, marking a significant leap in space navigation technology. According to The Conversation, this experiment could revolutionize the way spacecraft, submarines, airplanes, and ships navigate in environments where GPS is either unavailable, unreliable, or vulnerable to interferenc…
The US Space Force's mysterious X-37B space plane is set to launch its eighth test mission late Thursday night local time, but experts say the vehicle's future and role in the US space defense strategy are uncertain, Bloomberg reported.
