This is an unmanned reusable aircraft, which is often called spyware. The bottom line is that officially the US Air Force did not disclose details as to why the X-37 was created and what it does in orbit. And this despite the fact that the current launch is already the sixth, and the first was completed ten years ago. By the way, the last time the device spent a record 780 days in orbit.
