As Ulysses journeys from the southern to the northern solar pole, the newly launched Wind spacecraft is monitoring the solar wind near I AU, slightly upstream of the Earth. Different solar wind structures pass over both spacecraft as solar features rotate in and out of view. Ulysses and Wind are presently on opposing sides of the sun allowing us to monitor these streams for extended periods of time. Composition measurements made by instruments on both spacecraft provide information concerning the evolution and properties of these structures. We have combined data from the SWICS instrument on Ulysses and the MASS sensor on Wind to determine the charge state distribution of sulfur in the solar wind. Both instruments employ electrostatic deflection with time-of-flight measurement. The two instruments complement each other nicely in that MASS has the greater mass resolution while SWICS has the better mass/charge resolution and better statistics.
