Humanity’s eyes are now on space. It is a fact that we are closer to solving the mysteries of space and making new discoveries today than yesterday. And future generations will be closer than we are. We’re not sure if we’ll ever see those days, so it seems like it would be best to focus on space exploration today. However, today, let’s give the exact date, a mysterious space event that took place on Saturday, November 12 at 05:22 (ET) stirred social media, so to speak. While this loud mystery left its place to panic after this time, there were also those who panicked for fear of UFOs. On social media, the sharing was shared. So what was the truth behind this mysterious event?
HERE’S THE TRUTH BEHIND THE MYSTERIOUS EVENT IN FLORIDA…
This event, which caused Florida people to panic and even wake them from their sleep due to the loud noise, was the mysterious flight of the Space Force’s mysterious plane. The Space Force’s mysterious X-37B spacecraft returned to Earth at 5:22 am on Saturday, November 12, landing at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, just as Florida residents panicked. Reminiscent of NASA’s Discovery and Endeavor space shuttles, the spacecraft spent two and a half years (908 days) in orbit, thus setting a record and returning to Earth.
The agency is pretty strict about exactly what the Boeing-built spaceplane does. Because, as we said before, it was a mysterious flight of a mysterious plane. But it did reveal that the X-37B spaceplane had deployed the satellite FalconSat-8, developed by the US Air Force Academy, in October 2021. This little satellite is still in orbit now.
SEED EXPERIMENT
Among some other experiments, this time in spaceflight, was an experiment from NASA that tested exposure to space on seeds. This experiment was important in gathering information on space crop production for future interplanetary missions and enabling the establishment of permanently located bases in space.
“The Seed experiment will enable space crop production and the establishment of permanent settlement bases in space for future interplanetary missions,” the Space Force said in a statement.
In another experiment, the effect of space radiation on various materials was tested. Later, NASA will compare it to materials on Earth.
FIRST FLIGHT WAS IN 2010…
NASA’s spaceplane X-37B first flew when the calendars showed 2010. And since then, it has remained mostly a mystery about its purpose. The X-37B, which we did not learn much about, carried a small number of satellites into space before this mission and returned to Earth 780 days later, in 2019.
“Since its initial launch in 2010, the X-37B has shattered records and provided our nation with an unrivaled ability to rapidly test and integrate new space technologies,” said Jim Chilton, senior vice president, Boeing, in a statement. said.
“This mission highlights the Space Force’s focus on collaboration in space exploration and expanding low-cost access to space for partners within and outside the Air Force Department (DAF),” said General Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations.
