The actual title has been edited to fit.
"US Military Space Plane Wings Past 500 Days on Latest Mystery Mission"
500 days in orbit with no word on its actual mission.
The story says it has changed orbit so it's still under control and not a floater...
"The current mission — known as Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-5) — was rocketed into Earth orbit on Sept. 7, 2017, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster
from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida."
"Each X-37B/OTV mission has set a new flight-duration record for the program.
OTV-1 began April 22, 2010, and concluded on Dec. 3, 2010, after 224 days in orbit.
OTV-2 began March 5, 2011, and concluded on June 16, 2012, after 468 days on orbit.
OTV-3 chalked up nearly 675 days in orbit before finally coming down on Oct. 17, 2014.
OTV-4 conducted on-orbit experiments for 718 days during its mission, extending the total number of days spent in space for the OTV program at that
point to 2,085 days. It was launched in May 2015 and landed in May 2017."
Wonder what its doing...
