I'm sure there are many things its doing, testing the space plane, optics, any tests that are too dangerous to do on the ISS. Its like having a private US space station, without the need for life support or space for humans.

If so, why is its purpose not made public? The public surely pays for it, so if it would be entirely scientific there would be no need to make it a mystery. This leads to the conclusion that there must be some military application.
