The 'Great Observatory'
As well as being an important scientific mission in its own right, Ulysses is also a key member of the fleet of spacecraft collectively referred to ‘The Sun-Solar System Connections Great Observatory’.
This fleet also includes ESA's SOHO and Cluster satellites, and NASA’s ACE, Wind and Voyager spacecraft.
The twin STEREO probes and Japan’s Solar-B satellite will soon join this impressive fleet, to form an unprecedented tool to study the Sun and heliosphere as an integrated system.
Campaigns using the Great Observatory, together with ground-based facilities, are being planned in the framework of the upcoming International Heliophysical Year (IHY) in 2007.

Ulysses findings and science are being discussed in October 2005 at the 54th Ulysses Science Working Team meeting taking place in Pasadena, USA.
