Description: It is pointed out that ultraviolet imagery of spiral galaxies is a sensitive probe of the large-scale morphology of the star-forming regions and the associated interstellar dust. A rocket-borne Ritchey-Chretien telescope was employed to obtain three ultraviolet images of the Sc 1 galaxy M101 (NGC 5457). The present investigation is concerned with the procedures for reduction and absolute calibration of the obtained images and an analysis in terms of discrete sources. Attention is also given to the radial variation and the azimuthal variation of disk and arms. It is found that the emission from M101 in the UV bandpass is dominated by extreme Population I, in the form of discrete OB/H II complexes.
