X-20 Dyna-Soar the first shuttle in the world
When people are talking about the forgotten space programs, and secretive missions they always forget that there might be something behind those stories. Here is the Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar, the miniature space shuttle from the past. The fact is that this small shuttle flew in the space.
The X-20 program was the pathfinder for the more well-known shuttles that we are seen on television. The fact is that there is always something, that people don't know about the spacecraft. One of the things is that there are rumors about the space shuttles like X-37B is introducing, that there are some small-size shuttles. Those shuttles or spacecraft were published because somebody might talk about those things in the restaurants. Or the information could be delivered otherways accidentally as the small shuttle could be crashlanded in some city area.
That means some parts of the operations and equipment can be released. The miniature shuttles are multi-purpose platforms that can make a reconnaissance, space rescue, or attack missions. In the simplest model in the body of the miniature shuttle will place the nuclear bomb. That means the automatized shuttle can operate as the highly-effective cruise missile, what can shoot to the orbiter and if the attack is not necessary, the system can be returned to base.
One thing makes those shuttles dangerous. The attack profiles for those systems can be made very complicated. The space shuttle can drop bombs, or it can be driven to the target with it's the internal bomb. The space plane can also be used to attack against satellites by using laser or microwave weapons.
The thing is that the laser or microwave weapons can be very effective if they are installed in the cargo bay of the miniature shuttle and used in the orbiting trajectory. Because the microwave transfers energy to the metal core of the satellite very effectively. And laser rays can also cut off the antennas and solar panels of the targeted satellites.
