Default Any suggestion about this X-37B?

I read about it in a danish newspaper and searched the internet on more info about this story in english

http://www.space.com/14305-secret-x3...g-mystery.html

I have no clue why the stil keeps it in orbit. I could imagine that they want to test some technical thing on this X-37B.

What do you thing? Any suggestion?

Markus

I'm guessing the reason why its still in orbit has something to do with Newton's 1st Law.

Other than that ask the USAF.

It even said that the was alot of speculation and conspiracy about this X-37B's long time in orbit.

the thing that is debated most is that USAF is using it to spy on china.
(According to this danish newspaper)

The whole X-37B is spying on Chinese Satellites was not true, their orbits were not in sync.

There is really only two possibilities:

The mission is going really good.

or

The mission has gone horribly wrong.
