PKPs Powerfromspace1<p>Earlier today, the U.S. Space Force quietly released the first ever in-orbit photo from Boeing’s <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/X37" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X37</span></a>, a highly secretive reusable robotic spacecraft fielded by the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOD</span></a>.</p><p>The image, taken on the X-37B's seventh mission, high over the African continent, shows the blue marble. </p><p><a href="https://x.com/osinttechnical/status/1892803750751764606?s=46" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">x.com/osinttechnical/status/18</span><span class="invisible">92803750751764606?s=46</span></a></p>

If the tests are complete and the equipment is no longer needed, getting rid of the modules might cut down on mass and make the reentry and recovery process easier and safer. <br><a href="https://www.airandspaceforces.com/space-force-x-37-aerobraking/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">airandspaceforces.com/space-fo</span><span class="invisible">rce-x-37-aerobraking/</span></a></p>
