I hope it wasn’t up there taking hi def photos of cow pies for Barry’s EPA.
This craft is the equivalent of keeping a SR71 Blackbird on station 24/7 for a year. Impressive. Need to monitor the Pakiâs? Adjust orbit and your ready to go.
It may have been up many years ago, helping the black helicopters spy on candidate Ross Perot...
So, when the Daily Mail says “...no one knows...” they mean, the news media doesn’t know. Arrogant. The people who put it up there know what it does.
I dunno what they're talking about; this is as good an explaination as you're going to get for a Defense/Intelligence asset: "As part of its mission goals, the X-37 was designed to rendezvous with friendly satellites to refuel them, or to replace failed solar arrays using a robotic arm. Its payload could also support Space Control (Defensive Counter-Space, Offensive Counter-Space), Force Enhancement and Force Application systems."
