 | | At the Mojave, California inland spaceport, the White Knight mothership has been involved in fit and high-speed taxi checks with a new passenger -- the X-37, an unpiloted, reusable space plane. |
 | | Designed by Scaled Composites of Mojave, California, the White Knight was utilized to haul SpaceShipOne to altitude and then released the piloted rocketplane for its record-setting suborbital treks, including the snagging of the high-stakes $10 million Ansari X Prize last year. |
 | | In its new role, the White Knight is being readied to carry the Boeing, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), NASA-supported vehicle skyward. |
