Technology testbed
The X-37 has been billed as an unpiloted, autonomously operated vehicle designed to conduct on-orbit operations and collect test data in the Mach 25 (re-entry) region of flight.According to a Boeing fact sheet on the craft, the X-37 project is exploring potential new commercial and military reusable space vehicle market applications, be they on-orbit satellite repair to the next-generation of totally reusable launch vehicles.
Late last year, NASA transferred its X-37 technology demonstration program to DARPA.
Other NASA's experimental flight projects are as follows:
• X-37
• X-40A
• X-43A
• OSP/CEV
• DCX
Some would argue that they were not all give the chance to flourish and many would never have.
