In the early 1990s, after its Jupiter flyby, the Ulysses spacecraft identified interstellar dust in the solar system. Since then the in-situ dust detector on board Ulysses continuously monitored interstellar grains with masses up to 10−13 kg, penetrating deep into the solar system. While Ulysses measured the interstellar dust stream at high ecliptic latitudes between 3 and 5 AU, interstellar im...

Results from all phases of the orbits of the Ulysses spacecraft have shown that the magnitude of the radial component of the heliospheric field is approximately independent of heliographic latitude. This result allows the use of nearEarth observations to compute the total open flux of the Sun. For example, using satellite observations of the interplanetary magnetic field, the average open solar...

The Ulysses mission provides an opportunity to study the cvohrtion of magnetohydrodynarnic (MH D) turbulence in pure high-speed solar wind streams. The absence at high heliocentric latitudes of the strong shears in solar wind velocity generally present near the heliocentric current sheet allows investigation of how fluctuations in the magnetic field and plasma relax and CVOIVC in the radially e...
