X-37B
« on: June 14, 2010, 10:41:09 AM »

So we finally had a clear sky this Saturday morning in NC.
I had my telescope rig setup looking for Comet McNaught
and i see this thing (i think?)fly by about 4am from the North.

It was not the ISS as that was not scheduled that morning,
or at least the satellite tracker app i use didn't mention it?
The app listed ISS flyovers Friday and Sunday mornings.

Might have been another satellite, but it was quite bright,
i'd guess Mag. -2.0 or so?

If so, pretty cool technology. Remotely controlled to dock with the ISS someday?
