America reveals 'future arena' in space through a picture?

Specifically, at an event at the Peterson Air Force base in Colorado (USA) on October 27, the US Space Command revealed a dramatic simulation of space combat, according to the Daily Express US.

The work, by artist Rick Herter and titled "High Ground Intercept," depicts space as "a combat arena, now and in the future." It also depicts a futuristic American space vehicle intercepting an enemy satellite, while simultaneously disabling a friendly satellite nearby.

The futuristic interceptor is described as resembling the X-20 Dyna-Soar, America's first space plane design, with a low-wing delta shape and vertical winglets.

Because of the highly classified nature of many space operations, the US Space Command asked Herter to rely on historical space planes and his own imagination, explains historian Christopher Rumley.

“To get the exact proportions and angles of the vehicles in the painting, I built a rough model of the individual space plane design, then used it as a reference tool,” said Herter.

The US Space Force said the work continues a tradition of artists depicting battles and victories to inspire national pride and document acts of valor.

The U.S. Air Force Art Collection currently houses thousands of works of art documenting the actions of airmen in major conflicts, humanitarian operations, military exercises and training, as well as other subjects including space missions and objectives.
