[FPSPACE] photoshopped view of Buran in orbit

[Charles, John B. (JSC-SA211)]

JimO,

I cannot help with the source, but your inquisitor may want to try to explain the shadows on the Buran-it seems to be facing into the sun, while Earth is illuminated from the side.  Also, were the Buran's payload bay doors opened in flight, or not?

Anybody know the original source of this photoshopped
view of Buran in orbit?

I've seen various collections of computer-generated Buran flight scenes,
most very nicely done. But right now I'm discussing this picture with a
guy who insists it was taken from a US spy satellite.

Thanks!
