On Feb. 20, 2025, the Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs uploaded on the DVIDS website, what is believed to be the first-ever in-orbit officially released photo taken by the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV). The photo (purposely posted in low-resolution and apparently somehow digitally altered) showing Earth from space, was captured by an onboard camera used to monitor the spacecraft's health.
