The service has also announced two additional Air Force base locations for the stealth bomber.

The effort aboard a Northrop Grumman Cygnus capsule is expected to launch Saturday at 11:28 a.m. EDT.

Test pilots report the jet is performing as expected with the aircraft flying like the simulator, Northrop Grumman said.

Pilots may find weather to be one of the most challenging subjects but also the most intriguing.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the payload of more than 8,200 pounds of critical supplies headed to the International Space Station.

Northrop Grumman was awarded the low-rate initial production contract for the stealth bomber based on the results of ground and flight tests, a defense official said.

The launch and space systems provider is thought to be working with the Space Development Agency, part of the U.S. Space Force.

The stealth bomber is officially in flight testing, the Air Force confirms.
