Washington are also developing a military space plane dubbed a ‘super drone’, according to Gagnon. Sputniknews.com reports: “It can stay in orbit for a year at a time. It can have many functions. It can be a surveillance vehicle. It can go up as an anti-satellite weapon and capture another country’s satellites, or it could fire weapons from space onto the earth below,” he says.
