Description:
On April 22, 2010, the U.S. Air Force launched the super-secret X-37B space plane on its first spaceflight. <br/><br/>This space plane is also known as the Orbital Test Vehicle. It looks a lot like NASA's space shuttle, only it's much smaller and doesn't have any windows. But the X-37B doesn't need windows anyway, because no one actually flies in it. It's completely autonomous and can even land on a runway without a human pilot. The X-37B has flown several highly classified payloads on long-duration missions. For its first flight, the X-37B launched on an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral and it orbited the Earth for 224 days. The Air Force never disclosed what kind of experiments were going on during that time.

_otd-in-space-april-26-britain-launches-its-1st-satellite.webp "On April 26, 1962, Britain launched its first satellite, Ariel 1.<br/><br/>This made the United Kingdom the third country to have a satellite in orbit after the U.S. and the Soviet Union — but they didn't launch it themselves. Ariel 1 launched on an American Thor-Delta rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. It was also built at Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Britain's Science and Engineering Research Council provided all of the experiments. Five of the six experiments on board studied the relationship between solar radiation and Earth's ionosphere, and one was dedicated to studying cosmic rays. Just 10 weeks after Ariel 1 launched, it was damaged by an explosion during a high-altitude nuclear test conducted by the U.S. military. Its solar panels broke, and it was unable to transmit any more useful data after that.")
