Cool shot! When I heard that the X-37 was back in space, I was excited to be able to see it again. However, the website I use, Heavens-Above, does not have it listed yet. There is something new posted on the main page, but its called OTV 4, not X-37. Could this possibly be the X-37, but under a different name? I would appreciate any information anyone can give, because I would really like to see the X-37 again. Thanks :)

It is the same, X-37B OTV 4. Click on the charts to enlarge the labels.

Thank you! I suspected that they were the same thing, but didnt know for sure. Also, I never even noticed that the chart had that label. Oops!
