The Space Force launched a secret mission space plane into orbit, dedicating the takeoff to front-line workers battling the coronavirus and victims.
The autonomous Boeing-made X-37B spacecraft took off at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, attached to an Atlas V rocket on Sunday. It’s the sixth time since 2010 that the aircraft has been sent to space. It’s not clear how long its current mission will last.
