That is the end of the tale of one of the most fascinating spacecraft in history. The shuttle flew over the year in the space and after that, it was stored in the hangar, and the second thing in that it would be covered with a polymer or something like that. So what is the conclusion? There would be more fascinating and more sophisticated solutions for this kind of roles, and one of them might be something, what is never been thought to be possible.
The thing is that the next generation fighters are more than some X-37B can ever be. There is always an explanation for this kind of retirement, and it's there is something new and fantastic on the dark side of the space program, or what kind of equipment would you believe that the space force has for accomplishing its mission.
The design or developing of this concept began in the 1990s when the USAF wanted to create the sub shuttle for the orbiter operations like photographing the satellites and other kinds of missions and after that, the reason, why the projects like X-37B are ever published is that if somebody would tell that the USAF has some miniature shuttles. Those shuttles might be saucer-shape stealth planes, what have small rocket engines around them. They can capture satellites in the mylar bags, what are EMP-protected, and then those bags can return the ground. The space drones can be equipped with parachutes and they can be more sophisticated than the systems have been ever before.
The miniature shuttles are actually drones, what can installed in the cargo bay of some rocket without nobody sees this system. And there are more sophisticated things, which might operate perfectly in the atmosphere or in low Earth orbiter. The planes like X-37B are called as the grey projects, and those systems are very sophisticated and advanced. Many of those projects have got very much publicity in the media, but there are things, which are not mentioned.
In fact, the responsibility in the space would be transferred to the stealth shuttles and other things, what are more secretive and equipped with highly independent artificial intelligence. Some of those drones are extreme small size and some of those new systems have a size less than one meter. And they might look like a saucer, what have rockets around them. Those drones might have greater ability to move, and the telescope manipulators allow to close even the big size objects in the plastic bag, what is made by using mylar.
