Scientific paper
Preliminary scientific findings of the Ulysses mission that was launched in October 1990 and arrived at Jupiter in Februrary 1992 are reviewed. The mission was aimed at using the gravity field of Jupiter to redirect the spacecraft to the sun's polar regions, which will be traversed in 1994 and 1995. Major results include possible entry into the polar cap; the identification of magnetospheric ions originating from Jupiter's ionsphere; Io, and the solar wind; observation of longitudinal asymmetries in density and discrete wave-emitting regions of the Io plasma torus; the presence of counter-streaming ions and electrons, field-aligned currents, and energetic electron and radio bursts in the dusk sector on high-latitude magnetic field lines; and the identification of the magnetic field direction in the dusk sector, which is indicative of tailward convection.
