http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_X-37In April 2010, the China Daily newspaper wrote that the X-37B program raised concerns about an arms race in space.[37] The Xinhua News Agency took a more moderate tone in questioning if the secretive program might lead to weapons in space.[38] Tom Burghardt wrote for Spacedaily.com that the X-37B could be used as a spy satellite or to deliver weapons from space.[39] The Pentagon has denied claims that the X-37B's mission supports the development of space-based weapons.[39]
A group of amateur sky watchers, the Visual Satellite Observers, said that the spacecraft's mission is to support space-based surveillance and reconnaissance technology; they reported the X-37B's track took it over North Korea, Afghanistan and other trouble spots. According to the sky watchers, the spacecraft passes over the same given spot on Earth every four days, and operates at an altitude of 255 miles (410 km), which would be typical for a military surveillance satellite.
