For the first time ever, the U.S. Space Force has released a photo of its highly classified X-37B space plane in orbit, offering the public a rare look at one of the most secretive spacecraft in operation today.

The United States Space Force released the first public photo taken by X-37B space plane in orbit, showing the vehicle high above Earth.

The military keeps in-flight details on the X-37B relatively quiet. A new photo gives the first look at what the view is from space.

During the first six missions, the X-37B spent more than 3,774 days in orbit. It launched on its current mission, OTV-7, on Dec. 28, 2023, and passed 400 days in orbit on Jan. 31. By comparison, the space shuttle spent 1,323 days in space during NASA shuttle flights between April 1981 and July 2011.
