      I don’t really get the question. Apart from dozens of admitted spy satellites the US, China and Russia all have a few satellites up there for unknown (to the public) reasons, presumably all for some kind of snooping mission.

      The American Air Force’s X-37, a tiny winged craft, is particular odd as it stays up for years at a time then comes back. What it does up there is unknown outside the Pentagon.
