Ulysses mission: The end of an odyssey
Résumé
After almost 18 years in space, the Ulysses mission explored the entire heliophere out-of-the ecliptic plane over the solar activity cycle. The end of this unique mission is planned before the end of December 2008 due to the decline in power produced by its on-board generators. We enlighten some major impacts of the scientific results of the mission to the heliospheric community.
