PHOTOS OF THE DAY... Yesterday afternoon, an Atlas V rocket carrying the top-secret Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Also known as the X-37B, this is actually a different space plane from the one that flew into space in April of last year. If it’s anything like the first OTV, this vehicle will stay in Earth orbit for at least 220 days and land at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California as early as November. Awesome. You can check out more photos of the OTV's launch on SpaceflightNow.com.
