About this work
STS041-601-009 (6 Oct 1990) --- The Ulysses spacecraft, backdropped against the blackness of space, rapidly distances itself from Discovery and moves toward the beginning of its five-year mission to the Sun. The five STS-41 astronauts released the spacecraft only hours after achieving Earth orbit on Oct. 6, 1990. The photo was made with a handheld Roliflex camera using 120 film.
