X-37B Mini Space Shuttle Finishes Longest 434-Day Mission.

A secret space plane just landed after a long trip around Earth. It spent 434 days in space doing secret military experiments.

The plane, called the X-37B, took off from Florida and landed in California. The military only told people it landed after it happened.

This was the seventh time this type of plane went into space. The military said the plane did a good job testing new ways to move around in space.

The X-37B planes are reusable, which means they can fly to space more than once. The longest one of these planes stayed in space was almost three years!

The planes are made by Boeing and are pretty small compared to other space vehicles. They are helping the military learn more about space travel.
