    USAF X-37B flight-2

    Off on another top-secret military mission, probably recon and/or military ops related. Rumors are the USAF and Marines want a larger militaty spaceplane that can fly robotic or manned missions and that these tests are leadups to that.

    Launch is NET March 4, 2011 (NET = no earlier than in space-speak) on an Atlas V from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

      Well, lots of mini-shuttles coming - Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser, Orbital Sciences Prometheus, and possibly one from Russia. They're talking about resurrecting the MAKS (Russian Multipurpose Aerospace System)
