Looks like a satellite photo has been taken by a private company (god bless capitalism!)

My "amateur" eye appears to pick up the following:

1. Shadow of rocket on pad on bottom right.
2. Verticle stacking building on top left.
3. Rocket must roll to pad, if like Soviet Union, rolls to pad horizontally, then elevated to launch position. More likely, given verticle stack building on left, the rocket is stacked vertically and transported to pad vertically.
