[i]Randy Walden, director and program executive officer for the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, said Aug. 13 in a virtual forum hosted by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies that his office will remain in charge of the X-37B program. A Space Rapid Capabilities Office headquartered at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico was established in 2018 to replace the military's Operationally Responsive Space, or ORS, program. Most of Space RCO's efforts are classified. Walden said the Air Force RCO will retain the X-37B program, but added his office will "continue the collaboration" with Space RCO and the U.S. Space Force. "Right now, we plan on keeping that," Walden said, referring to the X-37B program. "There's a lot of interest in reusable space vehicles right now. We've gained a lot of information in the decade we've been operating that system, and I think it's provided unique and relevant insight into some of the newer technologies that would actually go to space and inform how they would build those systems. So we're going to continue doing that."[/i]
