X-37 is an orbital experimental space vehicle to test key technologies for both orbital and reentry environments. NASA's X-37 could become America's first military space plane.

Boeing Phantom Works in California is building the X-37 unmanned vehicle. It is a 120 percent scaled derivative of the X-40a. NASA plans to carry it into orbit in the payload bay of the US Space Shuttle and the first orbital flight is expected in 2003. 

What is interesting about the space vehicle design is that it has an experimental bay that can carry used for various experiments.
