| - X-37B OTV-3 eller USA-240 var den tredje rymdflygningen av en X-37B, av USA:s flygvapen. Man ville inte avslöja vad farkosten ska användas till, utan meddelade bara att man testar ny teknologi. Uppskjutningen skedde den 11 december 2012, med en Atlas V-raket från Cape Canaveral Air Force Station i Florida. Farkosten landade på Vandenberg Air Force Base i Kalifornien den 17 oktober 2014.

| - USA-240, also referred to as Orbital Test Vehicle 3 (OTV-3), is the second flight of the first Boeing X-37B, an American unmanned robotic vertical-takeoff, horizontal-landing spaceplane. It was launched to low Earth orbit aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral on 11 December 2012. Its mission designation is part of the USA series. The spaceplane was operated by Air Force Space Command, which has not revealed the specific objectives of the mission or identity of the mission's payload. The Air Force stated only that the "mission will incorporate the lessons learned during the refurbishment process on OTV-1. As the X-37B program is examining the affordability and reusability of space vehicles, validation through testing is vital to the process. We are excited to see how this vehicle performs on a second flight." (en)
