Ulysses orbit determinationThe Ulysses mission ESA spacecraft with ESA and NASA experiments explores the polar regions of the sun by sending a spacecraft on a trajectory out of the ecliptic after a Jupiter flyby. After correcting for launch errors and refining the aimpoint, orbit determination results show the change and general improvement in the Jupiter arrival point. Orbit determination results are further discussed, and future plans are mentioned.
