Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The counterpart to this launch-date switch is the Air Force’s X-37B. It is an experimental, unmanned, prototype space drone that will be developed eventually into a reusable robotic spaceplane.
In its operational state, the X-37B will be able to transport small payloads to and from Earth orbit.
It is about 25% the length and width of a NASA space shuttle, and weighs about 11,000 pounds (4,990 kilograms) at launch.
The prime contractor for the X-37B is The Boeing Company, through its Phantom Works division. Developed from NASA’s X-37A design, the December 2008 spacecraft is officially designated the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV).
The X-37-B OTV will be launched from Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station by an Atlas V rocket. It will be inserted into low-Earth orbit for several days of testing. Then, it will be de-orbited for a landing at Vandenberg Air Force Base (prime) or Edwards Air Force Base (backup), both in California.
