Officials said the Air Force's X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle Mission 5 successfully landed early Sunday morning at Kennedy Space Center.
The X-37B OTV was in orbit for more than two years, according to officials.
The spaceplane was used to improve technology that allows scientists and engineers to recover experiments tested in a long-duration space environment.
Officials said the mission launched Sept. 7, 2017, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on board a Space X Falcon 9 booster. The U.S. Air Force is preparing to launch the sixth X-37B mission in 2020.
