A this is a historic moment for Ulysses. We re ready to begin our primary Mission to explore the poles of the Sun said de Smith nasal a project scientist at the Jet propulsion Laboratory. Ulysses began its $750 million Mission oct. 6, 1990, when it was launched from space shuttle discovery. The Mission is a joint project of the National aeronautics and space administration and the european space Agency. The spacecraft made its closest approach to Jupiter Early saturday flying about 235,000 Miles Over the planets Cloud tops at a Speed of 61,249 Man said Don Meyer Deputy Mission operations manager. It was the fifth spacecraft to visit the solar systems largest planet. It also was the first time Europe has sent a spacecraft to another planet Smith said. During the close encounter Ulysses was located Between the orbits of to and Europa two of Jupiter a Moons.
