Abstract: This study presents a vibrational orbit generation method for a flexible actuator. We propose a method for generating a desired Lissajous curve-like vibrational orbit by inputting a ...

We've never seen the shadowy spacecraft while in orbit, and still barely know what it's up to up there. The United States Space Force just offered a rare glimpse of its shadowy X-37B space plane ...

A private spacecraft carrying NASA instruments to the surface of the moon in preparation for astronauts to return in the years ahead has reached lunar orbit about a month into its spaceflight.

It’s not quite William Anders’ “Earthrise” picture, but does show the level of quality on the X-37B’s cameras, as well as a sense of just how far in orbit it is. The exact date and ...

The photo, taken during the X-37B’s seventh mission, shows Earth from High-Elliptical Orbit. On Feb. 20, 2025, the Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs uploaded on the DVIDS website ...

While conducting experiments in a "highly elliptical orbit," the X-37B orbital test vehicle captured a rare image of Earth from high above the African continent. Since launching on its seventh ...
