Article Title: US Military’s X-37B Spaceplane Tests Quantum GPS on Eighth Mission
Article Body:
the US military’s Boeing-built X-37B spaceplane is in space again for its eighth mission.
The X-37B is an uncrewed craft that, just like the USA’s retired Space Shuttle, launches on a rocket and after re-entry makes an unpowered landing on a terrestrial runway. The vehicle has engines it can use to maneuver in space, but in 2024 deliberately grazed Earth’s atmosphere by “aerobraking” to make a meaningful change to its orbit.
It’s thought the spaceplane has other means to change its orbit – a move that requires a lot of energy – and is therefore the subject of occasional criticism from China on grounds it could be a weapons platform.
Little is known about the missions flown by the X-37B, save that they sometimes last for more than a year and nearly always involve experiments with new space technologies.
The craft launched again last week, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9, and this time Boeing had blank” href=”https://www.boeing.com/innovation/innovation-quarterly/2025/03/beyond-gps-quantum-navigation-flight-test”>described it as involving a “using a six-axis quantum inertial measurement unit (IMU” that use “a quantum-sensing technique called atom interferometry to detect rotation and acceleration using atoms.”
The USA’s Sandia National Laboratories have Beidou satnav satellites. The US worries about losing GPS satellites too, as modern warfare relies on them.
This X-37B flight therefore takes on a little more meaning, as it’s testing a tech that could allow future spacecraft – and aircraft and who knows what else – to find their way even if satnav systems succumb to … something.
The Pentagon’s not said when it expects the X-37B back on Earth, or what it hopes to achieve with this mission.®
