The Ulysses mission is described in terms of its progress and early results of experiments regarding solar wind, magnetic fields, radio and plasma waves, and energy particles and cosmic rays. Ion data are presented from the observations of the solar wind over the sun in a sequential set of energy-per-charge spectra. The Solar-Wind Ion-Composition Spectrometer provides data regarding the differential intensity spectra for individual solar-wind ion species. Observations of the interplanetary magnetic field are given which suggest that the field was highly disturbed when they were taken. A wide variety of phenomena related to plasma and radio waves are observed by the radio astronomy receiver, and intensity enhancements related to solar activity are demonstrated by the measurements of properties of charged particles and cosmic rays. The data show that the Ulysses mission is providing valuable data early in the course of the mission.
