Definitely defense related. I've often thought it might have been testing a primitive orbital bombardment capability. A 50kg lead slug fired from that kind of orbit would destroy about a six block area. May explain what happened to several of those installations in Iran that got wiped out.

Ooh, interesting idea. It’s big enough to hold a rail gun and some tungsten projectiles...
