Description:
The video presents a conceptual path of the X-37B in a highly elliptical orbit (HEO), where the perigee aligns with its standard operational altitudes while the apogee extends tens of thousands of kilometers away. This configuration results in an orbital period of approximately 12 hours per revolution. This notional scenario illustrates the potential versatility of the X-37B beyond its usual low Earth orbit missions.
