An interesting photo for sure, look at the large version and check the orange NASA passes they're wearing ;-)

LOL... Non Sequitur. I am Nomad. Sorry, just had to say it.

Perhaps not a satellite? Maybe part of the parachute system?

What makes you think it's a satellite? It could be part of a satellite. Any other info about the photograph?

Looks like a modified still to me. 60's white lightning for the next poker night.
