Outside pictures of OK-M

Here are some pictures of the outside of OK-M taken in 2006 at Baikonur. We can see that the heat shield badly resists to the sand and time erosion. Furthermore we notice that the shield of the nose is only a sphere of metal covered with black painting, the rear fake gaz propellers were removed and an important number of tiles were damaged by the bad storing conditions or tagged.

Thanks to Rui Barbosa for the pictures.
