[FPSPACE] Soyuz OM segment at MAI

[Geert Sassen]

Hi,

In the 2003 Springer book 'Soyuz' by Rex D. Hall / David J. Shayler (ISBN
1-85233-657-9) a picture of a segment of a Soyuz Orbital Module is shown on
page 46 (the picture on the right of the page). Labeled 'A segment of an
Orbital Module used to train young engineers at MAI'.

However, no matter how I turn and twist this picture, it doesn't seem to fit
with the normal Soyuz OM. If this is indeed a segment of an OM then it must
have been constructed for some particular (unflown?) mission, for instance
it is showing more (and bigger) windows and a different internal
construction.

Does anyone have more information on what is actually shown on this picture?

Regards,

Geert Sassen.
