The International Space Station fades as it flies away to the east over Reesor Lake in the Cypress Hills of southeast Alberta. The ISS is fading as it enters the Earth’s shadow and experiences sunset. Illumination of the ground is from the first quarter Moon off frame at right. ..This is a stack of 4 x 25-second exposures with the 14mm Rokinon lens and Canon 6D. This fuzzy spot at left is M31, Andromedia Galaxy.
“In May of 1967, Barron Hilton – of Hilton Hotels – gave a presentation at the 13th Annual Meeting of the American Astronautical Society where he discusses the possibilities of orbiting and lunar hotels. Even as far back as ’67, Hilton considered such concepts to be perfectly feasible, and essentially inevitable. A shout-out is given to the Hilton depicted on Space Station V in “2001: A Space Odyssey” which would come out about a year later.
This being the 1960’s, of course there would be a “Galaxy Lounge” where guests could enjoy a martini.
Following Hilton was a presentation by Krafft Ehrike (then of North American Aviation) on the subject of “space tourism.” Once again, the concept was treated as wholly valid. He presented a design for a large orbiting tourist destination. While it featured zero-gravity facilities, it wisely was a rotating artificial gravity station, providing for the comfort and convenience of the guests. There would be several “world rooms” with different environments… artificial gravity levels matching the moon and Mars, say.
One assumption was that space launch costs would drop to $10/pound ($71/pound in 2015 dollars). At the time, with the rapid advances in space launch – remember, the first satellite had, at that time, only been launched less than a decade earlier, and now giant Saturn V rockets were preparing to send men to the moon – a price drop to those levels seemed a reasonable assumption. This would be done by having many, many launches of fully reusable vehicles, capable of reliably transporting the guests. The hotel would hold 1100 guests at a time, for 400,000 guest-days per year, and would have an in-orbit weight of 1,000,000 pounds. Profit would be a glittering $5 per guest per day… a total of about $39K/day in 2015 dollars.”

“Design for a manned orbiting laboratory
Does man have a military mission in space? Are there jobs that he can do more effectively and more economically than the most elaborately instrumented unmanned satellite – or that he alone can do? Lockheed believes there are.
But while some of these missions can be simulated on the ground, others must actually be demonstrated in space.
During the past seven years, Lockheed Missiles & Space Company has worked steadily toward the goal of a practical earth-orbiting laboratory for this purpose. Practical because it would carry all the men, instruments, and supplies required for extended experiments in space. Practical because – in keeping with government policy – it would utilize an existing launch vehicle and return capsule.
The design shown above – one of the more recent evolutions of Lockheed’s concept for such a manned earth-orbiting laboratory – would be boosted into orbit by the Titan III-C and carry a Gemini capsule for return to earth.
Lockheed’s competence in the design and building of reliable spacecraft was established by the Agena, world’s only standard production-line space vehicle, which is now used in major military and civilian programs. Today Lockheed’s Man-in-Space organization is also making important contributions in bioastronautics, nuclear-powered space flight, and interplanetary vehicles.”
So, this being an "eye in the sky", I'm assuming the aft radial/peripheral apertures of the spacecraft, along with the large 'telescope-like' shaft extending from the aft, are to all facilitate observation/photography. The shape of the pod-like object within the aft base possibly a return capsule, if/as/when needed to return exposed film? I also assume the two - what look to be pivoting mirrors - permit observation/photography from the aforementioned peripheral/radial windows/viewports? Or are they also camera assemblies?
~8" x 11". The “brushed-nickel” sheen & shading of the metal surfaces has a Ludwik Źiemba look & feel to me. Actually, so does the earth, especially the land masses. How cool would that be? The time period and being Lockheed-produced would support such also.
I’m calling it - it’s The Maestro. Or maybe even one of his protégés, Anthony Saporito or William Collopy.

Playing around with some exposures at this transmitter tower, myself and Edwin were just waiting for it to get darker so we could attempt some star trail action a little later in the evening...
The moon was too strong for anything much to happen, so this was probably the pick of the night...
Edwin's shot here -
I'd been wanting to capture an ISS flyover for a couple of weeks. Various free apps will tell you when and where to look. On the evening of 5/26, the space station was going to visible from my house, travelling from west to east across the northern sky, ultimately passing just above the North Star (Polaris). I set up this scene in the front yard, positioning a chair to provide foreground interest and block direct glare from a neighborhood streetlight. Learning from past mistakes, I composed the shot a half-hour in advance, checked focus, took several test shots to dial in the exposure, and waited. When the ISS appeared, all I had to do was push the button and count to 35.

This image is an artist's concept of the Skylab in orbit with labels of its major components. In an early effort to extend the use of Apollo for further applications, NASA established the Apollo Applications Program (AAP) in August of 1965. The AAP was to include long duration Earth orbital missions during which astronauts would carry out scientific, technological, and engineering experiments in space by utilizing modified Saturn launch vehicles and the Apollo spacecraft.
The goals of Skylab were to enrich our scientific knowledge of the Earth, the Sun, the stars, and cosmic space; to study the effects of weightlessness on living organisms, including man; to study the effects of the processing and manufacturing of materials utilizing the absence of gravity; and to conduct Earth resource observations. The Skylab also conducted 19 selected experiments submitted by high school students.
Skylab's three different 3-man crews spent up to 84 days in Earth orbit. The Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) had responsibility for developing and integrating most of the major components of the Skylab: the Orbital Workshop (OWS), Airlock Module (AM), Multiple Docking Adapter (MDA), Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM), Payload Shroud (PS), and most of the experiments. MSFC was also responsible for providing the Saturn IB launch vehicles for three Apollo spacecraft.

A very nice North American Rockwell artist’s depiction of the docked CSM/OWs configuration in earth orbit. The year is pretty much a SWAG based on the appearance of both the OWS & CSM. Minor details, to include no evidence of a MDA radial docking port and high fidelity of CSM details may support such. Then again, maybe not.
Wonderful artwork by Donald W. Bester.
Circa 1985 artist’s concept of the Industrial Space Facility (ISF), a privately owned space station, as proposed by Space Industries Inc.
“After his retirement from NASA in 1982, Dr. Max Faget co-founded Space Industries, Inc. with a major objective to develop a "man tended" Earth orbiting complex for scientific research. Plans were to have the complex carried inside the Space Shuttle's payload bay and released into orbit. Automated micro-gravity, pharmaceutical, and other experiments would operate for several months with retrieval of the results by the Space Shuttle. Political issues relating to NASA's own desire for a large space station and the Space Shuttle Challenger accident eventually derailed this project.”

Also, per Wikipedia:
“Space Industries was founded in Houston, Texas by Maxime Faget, who had recently retired as chief of engineering and operations at NASA, as well as entrepreneurs James Calaway, Guillermo Trotti, and Larry Bell. Their plan was to build a space station that would feed off the life support system of the space shuttle when it visited, but would not maintain continuous life support between shuttle visits. Faget proposed this plan because maintaining continuous life support would be cost prohibitive.
Joe Allen, a physicist and astronaut, was a partner, as was Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Investors included Roy M. Huffington, an oilman and later United States ambassador to Austria; James Elkins, not to be confused with James A. Elkins who was the co-founder of the Vinson & Elkins law firm; and Walter Mischer, a developer.
Calaway lobbied the United States government to be an anchor tenant in the proposed space station. In 1988, the Reagan Administration requested $700 million from the annual budget in order to participate in the project, but the request was not approved by Congress, and the space station was never built.
The company eventually merged with Calspan Corporation, which in turn merged with General Dynamics Corporation.”

Who knew? Did you? I didn’t.
It even has the semi-obligatory moon in the distance, although it looks sort of smooth & metallic. Maybe one of the near-perfectly spherical ball bearings being manufactured escaped. Note also the boom extending out from the facility to provide passive gravity gradient atitude stabilization.
Most importantly, the depiction was featured on the obverse of a “SpaceShots, SERIES TWO” trading card, specifically no. 0216.

Further, per NASA Spinoff 1985:
“While some companies are focusing attention on materials processing experiments expected to lead to orbital product manufacture, another group of companies is pursuing a different but related line of commercial space development: fabrication of processing systems and equipment for lease to experimenters.
One such system is the Industrial Space Facility (ISF), being developed by Space Industries, Inc., a company formed only three years ago to pursue commercial space ventures. Shown in cutaway view at left, the ISF in its basic form is a large, solar powered module (35 feet long and 14½ feet in diameter) intended primarily for experimental or operational materials processing in such areas as advanced pharmaceuticals; growing large, ultrapure semiconductor crystals; containerless processing of vastly improved fiber optics; or creation of metal alloys and composites not producible on Earth. The ISF can also serve as a scientific laboratory or as a technology development facility for testing new space equipment and procedures. As many as six modules, each with its own laboratory factory equipment plus power storage, temperature control, communications, data management and other provisions, can be docked together to create what the developers call a "space industrial park."
The ISF is designed as an unmanned automated station, but a unique aspect of the design is provision for 2,500 square feet of pressurized volume in each facility module. Thus, Shuttle-delivered servicing crews will be able to work in a shirtsleeve environment for the two or three days it might take for repairs or adjustments, equipment changeouts, product harvesting and cleaning/restocking production apparatus.
In a Shuttle/ISF resupply and servicing operation, the Shuttle Orbiter is docked to the ISF by means of a berthing adapter. Astronauts enter the pressurized part of the facility module through a docking tunnel. Connected to the facility module is a separable supply module containing oxygen for pressurization and other consumables; resupply modules, six to 11 feet long, will be Shuttle-delivered every three to four months and depleted modules returned to Earth. The periodically man-tended ISF will operate in the same orbit as that of the planned Space Station and it will also be able to dock with the Space Station for servicing.
By agreement, NASA and Space Industries will exchange non-proprietary data and work together on technical matters and operational support requirements. Space Industries has completed preliminary engineering, applied for patents, begun negotiations with equipment suppliers and awarded a contract to Lockheed Missiles & Space Company for the large solar array. Target date for operational service of the fist ISF is 1989”

Last, but not least - in all seriousness - the artist's signature of "Li Hua" is visible. Certainly not ‘THE’ Li Hua, so sort of a win? I assume it to be a pseudonym...possibly in homage? If so, by whom? That is, unless the name Li Hua is akin to something like ‘Joe Smith’.

“A PERMANENT VIEW?
Here’s the view Soviet cosmonauts have from the Salyut 6 space station which passes over the Unites States twice a day. American experts believe the Russians plan to permanently man the station for both military and scientific purposed. Telemetry antennas protrude from the side of the spacecraft.”
The above affixed caption is dated 3/3/78. The image and it were to be published in March 19, Sunday newspapers ICW Howard Benedict’s Washington APN story about weapons in space.
If the above is correct, I suppose this photograph would have been taken during the first Salyut 6 extravehicular activity, the first Soviet EVA since 1969, by Soyuz 26/EO-1 (Expedition 1) Cosmonaut Georgi (Georgy) Grechko on 19 December, 1977. And, I guess the exposed film would’ve then been returned by the visiting Salyut 6 EP-1/Soyuz 27(?) crew…using the Soyuz 26 vehicle???
All kinds of interesting firsts & details pertaining to Salyut 6 & its multiple crews, to include its resupply, are available online. A few being:

Of even greater significance are the following rarities regarding the actual photograph, bearing in mind it’s the USSR, SOVFOTO, and it’s 1977/78:
1. Uncharacteristically, it’s larger than 4” x 6”! Even by decadent capitalist pig standards, this is HUGE…it’s a whopping 8” x 11”! And it’s even on good “free world” grade photo paper.
2. As if that wasn’t enough, the photograph was purportedly taken OUTSIDE of the spacecraft, while purportedly IN FLIGHT, purportedly IN SPACE…and it’s of Soviet SPACE FLIGHT HARDWARE! NOT a posed crew photo…ON EARTH! Nor one taken of the crew about to board the spacecraft, while still…ON EARTH! Nor of the crew inside a training simulator…ON EARTH! Finally, it’s NOT the monotonous, repetitive scene of the huddled crew in space, INSIDE the spacecraft, hugging, drinking vodka or eating borscht.
Therefore, this is a UNICORN of Soviet manned space flight photography. 👍
Most unexpectedly/disappointingly, at what I consider to be the most knowledgeable & reliable source on Soviet/Russian space anything & everything, that being Anatoly Zak/RussianSpaceWeb, what I think is the antenna in the image…is NOT identified…with not one, but two lines pointing to the two dishes/reflectors. UGH.
Despite referred to as Salyut 1, I’d assume such a major component was a common element to all Salyut space stations.
www.russianspaceweb.com/salyut1-design.html
Other sites refer to it as a rendezvous, or navigation (synonymous with ‘rendezvous’?) antenna. Who knows.
Finally - and I’m fully aware that I’ve become the dullest crayon in the box - however, the dates, duration, timeline, etc. pertaining to Soyuz 27/Salyut 6 EP-1 or whatever else it’s called – has discrepancies, is confusing & even contradictory. At least with regard to making the caption date plausible.
As such, I’ve reasonably concluded that this is either a heavily airbrushed or otherwise doctored ‘photo’, or it’s an undisclosed engineering model in some hangar, soundstage, warehouse, etc., on the outskirts of…IDK…Minsk, Moscow, Novgorod, take your pick. Or maybe in an obscure building IVO Baikonur. Again, who really knows.

“SPACE ‘LIFEBOAT’ DEPICTED—Artist’s conception depicts a manned paraglider, left, beginning its descent to earth from an orbiting space station, top, while another paraglider undergoes inflation. The paraglider emergency one-man “lifeboat” concept was developed by the Space-General Corporation, El Monte, Calif. The “lifeboat,” its designers say, could be the answer if a crewman in an orbiting space station has to return home because of illness or receiving word of a tragedy in family down on earth.”
Who knew? Did you?? I didn’t!!!
Apparently, the brainchild of Dr. Robert Brodsky, retired Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Southern California professor, then employed by Aerojet-General/ Space-General Corporation.
An extract from a paper written by Prof. Brodsky, entitled “SPACE STATION ESCAPE VEHICLE – 40 YEARS LATER”, available to American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) members:
“Over forty years ago, the author and his associates at Space-General Corporation, a subsidiary of Aerojet-General, proposed and won what became a 1.3 million dollar contract to develop and test elements of a one person space lifeboat for crew rescue from orbit. The customer was the USAF Materials Lab. The vehicle proposed was a 1000 pound inflatable reentry paraglider utilizing a variant of the Rogallo wing design. During the life of this contract, similar one-time-usage designs, meant strictly for emergency use by up to six crew persons, were also proposed, but were not funded. This paper will disclose the work done in the 60’s and will describe the author’s unsuccessful, to date, campaign, starting in the early 90’s, to have NASA consider its usage applied to the International Space Station (ISS).”

A Google search of “"space-general corporation" paraglider space lifeboat” returns this and other tantalizing low-resolution images, contained within the paper I assume.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft lifts off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 30, 2020, carrying NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station for the agency’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission. Liftoff occurred at 3:22 p.m. EDT. Behnken and Hurley are the first astronauts to launch from U.S. soil to the space station since the end of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011. Part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Demo-2 is SpaceX’s final flight test, paving the way for the agency to certify the crew transportation system for regular, crewed flights to the orbiting laboratory.

“SPACE TRANSPORTATION EVOLUTION”
Unfortunately, “NO”.
A veritable flotilla comprised primarily of never/not to be spacecraft are depicted enroute to fanciful destinations.
I’m having a hard time determining where the boundary - if such even exists - is between computer-generation & time-tested, old-fashioned, hand-created artwork within this. Although the spacecraft have an airbrushed appearance, their ‘geometry’, along with the grid lines – which I’ve always attributed to be an ‘artifact’ of early computer-generated depictions – imparts a sort of clinical artificiality.
Oddly & thankfully, not a single NASA worm logo to be seen.
Other than the space shuttle stack on the far left - with the multi-nozzled "stielhandgranate" solid? rocket booster design and the twin-engine mini-shuttle/lifting body/sortie vehicle/X-?? thing on the far right, I think I've identified the other craft in "Tags".
Also thankfully, the artist’s first name & first letter of last name is visible, who’s likely Doug McLeod. Thereby a WIN.
“WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3 – The dangers of sending U.S. astronauts to the moon without first engaging in extended space operations in earth orbit are pointed out in the July issue of AIR FORCE/SPACE DIGEST. First, writes Technical Editor J. S. Butz, Jr., we must learn more about the physical effects of extended space flight, information that can only be gained through operating a manned space station.
The four-man space station shown in this conception by artist Gordon Phillips could be built and launched within the present state of the art, to study effects of long-term weightlessness and other space phenomena in the period before the U.S. will be ready to send astronauts to the moon. Physical problems most feared are a relaxation of the blood vessels, reduction in capacity to withstand the shock of deceleration on reentry, pooling of blood, disorientation, and effects on such body cavities as the sinuses, ears, and heart ventricles
The station would be boosted into a 200-250-mile-high orbit unmanned, followed by two men each in a pair of Gemini capsules, which would dock in the baskets affixed to the station. Once inside, men could live and work without protective clothing. One man would be replaced each three months, so that one member of the original crew would remain in space for a full year to ascertain possible debilitating effects of long-term living in space. One of the four crewmen would be a physician.
In the illustration, one astronaut is relaxing in crew quarters below, two are working at instrument and communications consoles, and the fourth has just left the station through the air lock to check out systems in one of the Gemini vehicles. The third docking basket is reserved for a resupply Gemini capsule, which would arrive at the station periodically. The flat panels at the bottom are solar cells, providing power to operate the station.
This design meets the general requirements of the U.S. Air Force’s Military Orbital Development System (MODS) and NASA’s Manned Orbital Research Laboratory (MORL), both of which are now under consideration
