Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by cspg: [B]Apparently the orbit [URL=http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38831416/]has been raised[/URL]. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i] The U.S. Air Force's secretive X-37B space plane apparently boosted itself into a new orbit Aug. 9, according to reports from seasoned satellite trackers around the world, Space.com has learned. The orbit-raising maneuver was first noticed Aug. 14 by amateur skywatcher Greg Roberts of Cape Town, South Africa, when the object failed to appear as predicted by the last known orbit. After several nights of searching, Roberts found it again on Aug. 19, which enabled the new orbit to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to easily locate the X-37B space plane on subsequent nights.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
