A unique high-angle view of the Space Shuttle (artist's concept). The Orbiter, still attached to the External Tank (ET) as the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) are jettisoned, climbs upward to begin its Earth orbital mission.

Being at the hands of a Rockwell International artist (as I recall), the detail of this meticulous work is very impressive.
