About this work

STS049-91-056 (13 May 1992) --- The 4.5-ton Intelsat VI communications satellite begins its separation from the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Crew members deployed a new perigee stage on the satellite after three astronauts on a third extravehicular activity (EVA) successfully snared it. Clouds over the open ocean serve as backdrop for the 70mm image.
