The X-37 can carry anything that will fit in its pickup-truck-bed-size bay. “You can put sensors in there, satellites in there,” said Eric Sterner, from The Marshall Institute. “You could stick munitions in there, provided they exist.”
The X-37 can also help repair U.S. satellites or sneak up on and disable enemy sats.
Plus, it can stay in orbit for nine months, land like an airplane, then return to orbit just a few weeks later.
Don'tworry America! We still have the Shuttle:
