Space plane X-37B

 
The original X-37A was to feature an Rocketdyne AR-2-3 engine for maneuvering and deorbiting, which uses Kerosene JP-8/Hydrogen Peroxide as fuel and oxidizer.
Later (X-37B) the propulsion system has been changed to a hypergolic Hydrazine/Nitrogen Tetroxide engine (R-4D ?) with a robust propellant load for maneuvering in space and for the deorbit burn.
