Since it's observable with a telescope, the existence of the object is not the secret, but the information it provides access to, and the motives for using this stategic platform, remain speculative. There's nothing else like it that we know of, that any branch of the military, or that any paramilitary defense organization will admit to, and yes, that is being used as a form of propaganda.

Science and the military do intersect for some interesting infotainment though, even if the implicit misanthropy of it all is somewhat off-putting.

And to elaborate on what a GTO is, rather than permit the preceeding comment to become ensconced in jargon, the "T" stands for "transfer" in the sense of transferring from maybe a lower orbit to a higher orbit, or, in other words, changing altitude.

So, a Geosychronous Transfer Orbit, gains in altitude, while staying directly overhead at the same point on the earth's surface, even though the earth below is still in rotational motion. But, at points closer to the equator (where much of the good rocketry real estate resides), to keep up with a fixed point on the ground, while traveling farther and farther away from the central axis of rotation, ever greater lateral distances must be covered at increasingly greater speeds.

Meaning, if you can keep your rocket directly overhead, over a zone and airspace you can control militarily (by denying enemies access to it, or maybe by choosing a place that doesn't need to be defended), while putting it as high in the sky as possible, it will be much more difficult to shoot down, providing the advantage of being able to then move this proverbial chess piece into position anywhere you want, without too much concern of being denied access to that perch.

There's a naturally destructive boundary which can automatically limit arbitrarily redundant "information" in a subset of certain types of derived objects.

Until a visible event recurs frequently, such that it reaches the pre-defined boundary, an undisclosed entity is able to take advantage of destructive entropy in order to simplify the situation, when deriving an interpretted expression for these sorts of objects. (in other words, virtual recreations are deliberately created with poor quality in seemingly repetitive situations like this) When a collection of objects is particularly repetitive for some reason, beyond the previously described limits of repetitiveness, an undisclosed entity might permit even more repititions than usual, which obviously begets even more replicas of this peculiar set of objects (continuity). This suggests that repetitive loops (and interest?) become the appealing part of a pretend virtual model that an undisclosed entity might choose to observe.

All of this is similar to the circumstances described in the following novels:
