Summary
X-37B is a classified programme and United Launch Alliance, which operates the Atlas rocket, was required to end its webcast earlier in the flight than it would normally do.The Pentagon has revealed very few details about the reusable vehicle's missions and capabilities in the past, but Secretary of the Air Force, Barbara Barrett, said earlier this month: "This X-37B mission will host more experiments than any other prior mission."It's known that one of the onboard experiments will test the effect of radiation on seeds and other materials.
