[edit] Fair use for Proton satellite

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

it is a historically significant photo of a famous object;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public. Yuriy Lapitskiy 07:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

There's no possibility of replacing this copyrighted work with a free image because

1. The satellites ceased to exist long ago;

2. They were orbiting in space;

3. The copy of this satellite is owned by "NPO Mashinostroyenia" themselves (if it's still exists).

The image was first published in USSR.

For more details see Wikipedia:Fair_use. If there's a more appropriate licence tag - add it, please.
