Russian Moonbase Art -- Original or Stolen??

Here's a newspaper image from Moscow
about a possible moonbase built by Russia:
http://www.kp.ru/upimg/photo/57527.jpg

Is that art original, or is it copied from an
existing Western illustration? I don't
recognize it right away.

I found the same picture on the Challenger.org
website without the Russian captions:

The Challenger.org website has this copyright message on the same
webpage as
the picture in question:

In the larger image on the Challenger.org website, you can see the
artists signature on
the picture. It appears to be signed by Roger Arno.

The same signature is on the "Russian" version.

Bloody Commie Theives!!
