"The U.S. Air Force has released new images of its experimental new X-37B space plane as the secretive mission's launch date next April (2010) draws near.  An Air Force spokesperson said the unmanned spaceship is scheduled for launch April 19 on an Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla.

The winged X-37B (no crew), also named the Orbital Test Vehicle, is managed by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office under the direct supervision of the secretary of the Air Force and the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology, and logistics."
