UPDATE: Blastoff of the unmanned X-37B space plane from Kennedy Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida Space Center was delayed until Thursday, April 22, 2010 due to the space shuttle Discovery's late return to earth at the nearby Kennedy Space Center. The launch time for the X-37B is set for blast off Thursday evening between 7:52 p.m. and 8:01 p.m. EDT, according to the USAF.
The reusable X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle is now expected to be lofted into space aboard at Atlas-V booster rocket on Thursday, April 22, 2010 from the Cape Canaveral launch pad then reenter for an auto-pilot landing at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, at some undisclosed time following several orbits of the Earth.
