Reposting as 844 (used for X-33 aerospike testing) went missing 👀 twz.com/air/a-sr-71-blackbir…

An SR-71 Blackbird Has Vanished (Updated)

The head of NASA recent teased a new X-plane with an image that recalled the iconic Blackbird. Now one is missing.

How do plasma effects influence the radar signatures of hypersonic vehicles? In HypS²tar, Fraunhofer FHR investigates new methods for hypersonic detection and tracking. 🚀📡 More info: bit.ly/4r7vEwE #FraunhoferFHR #Radar

1/7 So, a bit of a deep dive/thread on the X-37B processing after landing at Vandenberg. This is probably very boring and nerdy, so you have been warned :) Note: this is evidence based, using public sources, I'll indicate when I make educated guesses.

6/7 For OTV-3 and OTV-7 it is currently unknown which facility was used, although I would not be surprised if it was the same HPF building 1610, but that remains a guess as evidence is missing, also more recent images of this building are missing.

7/7 Final note on the Astrotech PPF building, it seems it is being expanded with a new cleanroom, the topping-off was celebrated 2nd of September, you can see the Airlock used OTV-1 on the left.

On a hunch I checked and found something, so during my lunch break I will go full nerd on the X-37B processing flow at Vandy. Nobody will care, I know, however it adds a little puzzle piece to the conundrum which is the baby shuttle...
