    On August 21, there was a fine opportunity to capture a low orbital
    pass of an almost legendary heavy used type of upper stages, used
    for the modified SS-6 Sapwood or R-7 rocket, originally a
    Intercontinental ballistic missile.

    It is a small object, but the observations show some clear
    similarities, especially in the first pair of images.
    
    
    The Block-E upper stage was the same as used for the first
    (unmanned) missions to the Moon with the Luna Programme:

    This is a nice comparison of the Block-E with a person:
