The Boeing X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) is an unmanned reusable spacecraft operated by the US Air Force. OTV-1 was launched on an Atlas V 501 rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on April 22, 2010 and landed at Vanderberg AFB on December 3, 2010 as scheduled.
The X-37B can remain in orbit for up to 270 days. Once its mission is complete, the spacecraft will re-enter the atmosphere and land at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It will be the second reusable spacecraft to perform an automated landing after returning from orbit, the first being the Russian space shuttle Buran (similar to the NASA space shuttle) in 1988.
The Dragon Wings Space Collection includes high quality, fully assembled, die-cast models of spacecraft and rockets. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail using original specifications. They are constructed with diecast metal and some plastic components.
