Is this plane being used as a pseudo-spy-satellite? I would think it would be a great replacement for them. I see a situation where after it's launched they bring it down every few years for upgrades and maintenance. I wonder if it's less expensive than the traditional ones.
- wmf 4y agoThere are rumors that it's taking photos of other satellites in orbit. I can't find the link, but it made a very close pass to the ISS and people speculate that it was imaging the ISS as a test.
- WheelsAtLarge 4y agoIt makes sense. I suspect(guess) it can change orbits. It would be a great tool to inspect other satellites at close range.
