The front display panel is also subject to scratches from sand particles while being unaffected from coins and other stuff that stay in pockets.While the U11 doesn’t hold up as well as the Galaxy S8, considering the Samsung flagship has more delicate glass surfaces than the U11, the U11’s Edge Sense frame needs some kind of structural strengthening, which we hope that HTC could come up with during the life cycle of the U11. That explains the reason why the HTC U11 was able to keep its rear glass intact in the bend test, even though the front glass panel shattered. The metal frame provides a limited structural support to the handset, thus deforming the U11 under some stress. Now, HTC’s latest flagship is the latest smartphone to go through his tests and it comes out with unexpected results. It seems that the functional surfaces of HTC U11 are prone to scratches and shatters whereas decorative surfaces like the rear panel hold up quite well.The flagship smartphone from HTC has a glass-metal combo body with sensors embedded on the sides. HTC’s latest flagship is the latest smartphone to go through his tests and it comes out with unexpected results. Whenever a new smartphone is launched, the world waits for a durability test from popular YouTube channel, JerryRigEverything. However, HTC has perfected the art of making phones with glass panels that can undergo drops and bends impressively, like Samsung.(Source)

No doubt they are also looking at ways to attack their adversaries' satellites.com.Others suspect it is a potential "killer satellite," capable of destroying or damaging enemy satellites."Maybe it's in their interest to keep people guessing.1 meters) long and with a nearly 15-foot wingspan, the X-37 B was blasted into low Earth orbit atop a rocket. (Photo: AP) Washington: After a nearly two-year sojourn in space, the US military drone X-37 B is back on Earth, fuelling wild ideas about its mystery mission."

It has very little manoeuvre capability in orbit, and it can't reach high altitudes, only low Earth orbit," he said in an email.Looking like a small version of an old NASA space shuttle, the craft touched down on Sunday in Florida, ending a 718-day voyage around the Earth, the US Air Force announced.Or perhaps it is a super spy plane, orbiting Earth to keep watch on enemy territory as needed.Moreover, the X-37 B would not be very manoeuvrable once in space, because its only source of power are solar panels."Generally speaking, to manoeuvre up in orbit requires a tremendous amount of fuel."The X-37 B's fourth flight was spotted six days after its launch in 2015 by a network of amateur satellite trackers, according to the website Spaceflight101.But many experts doubt that the X-37 B is the prototype for a true weapon of war or espionage.Since its first flight in 2010, it has sparked all kinds of speculation about its real purpose.Mark Gubrud, a physicist and expert on military space technologies at the University of North Carolina, says the idea that it is a manoeuvrable spy satellite doesn't make much sense either.

Just under 30 feet (9.Fears that the world is on the brink of an arms race in space is behind some of those theories."The X-37 is the size of a pick-up truck -- it would be difficult to have an effective weapon on board," says Victoria Samson, an expert with the Secure World Foundation, an advocate of sustainable development in space.Rocketdyne, a US company, announced that on the latest flight, it tested an ionic thruster used by satellites to move in space.They think it is being used to test sensors and equipment in space that can then be brought to the ground to see how they have performed. 

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.In reality, experts today think the X-37 is more likely a test bed rather than a potential weapon, just as the Air Force said it was in one of its few public statements about the system.It disappeared for several months in 2015 following a change in orbit, and again in February 2017 after another manoeuvre, but was later found again, the website said.In 2015, the mysterious behaviour of a Russian satellite fuelled speculation that Moscow was developing attack satellites capable of manoeuvring in space to zero in on other satellites.Since its first flight in 2010, it has sparked # all kinds of speculation about its real purpose."

If the US military wanted to quell concerns, they could," simply by putting out more information about the X-37 B, said Samson. But many experts doubt that the X-37 B is the prototype for a true weapon of war or espionage."If you want to make a stealthy, manoeuvring satellite, you will not weigh it down with wings and landing gear and make it so visible from Earth that even amateurs are able to track it
