The Ulysses spacecraft and its upper stage system consisting of a two-stage inertial upper stage (IUS) (gold-colored with rocket nozzle visible) and the payload assist module-Shuttle (PAM-S) (middle section) drift against the blackness of space after deployment from Discovery's, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103's, payload bay (PLB) during STS-41. The airborne support equipment (ASE) extending from the spacecraft at the PAM-S/IUS mating interface is visible.
