Two other satellites made observations at the time of the impact: the Ulysses spacecraft, primarily designed for solar observations, was pointed towards Jupiter from its location 2. 6 AU away, and the distant Voyager 2 probe, some 44 AU from Jupiter and on its way out of the Solar System following its encounter with Neptune in 1989, was programmed to look for radio emission in the 1 – 390 kHz range.

One spacecraft was designed, and the project recast as Ulysses, due to the indirect and untried flight path.

On February 22, 2008, 17 years 4 months after the launch of the spacecraft, ESA and NASA announced that mission operations for Ulysses would be likely to cease within a few months.

As the only spacecraft out of the ecliptic with a gamma-ray instrument, Ulysses was an important part of the InterPlanetary Network ( IPN ).

Typically, a determination came from comparing: one of several spacecraft orbiting the Earth, an inner-Solar-system probe ( to Mars, Venus, or an asteroid ), and Ulysses.

The Ulysses spacecraft unexpectedly crossed the comet's tail at a distance of more than or ) from the nucleus, showing that Hyakutake had the longest tail known for a comet.

The Ulysses spacecraft made an unexpected pass through the tail of the comet on 1 May 1996.

In 1990, NASA launched the ESA spacecraft Ulysses to study the polar regions of the Sun.

Primary payload, ESA-built Ulysses spacecraft to explore polar regions of Sun, deployed.

Six hours after Discoverys launch, the Ulysses spacecraft was deployed from the payload bay.

Ulysses, a joint project between the European Space Agency and NASA, was the first spacecraft to study the Sun's polar regions.

With the Ulysses spacecraft on its way, the STS-41 crew began an ambitious schedule of science experiments.

During 66 orbits of the Earth, the STS-41 crew successfully deployed the Ulysses spacecraft, starting this interplanetary probe on its four-year journey, via Jupiter, to investigate the polar regions of the Sun.

During 66 orbits of the Earth, the five-man crew successfully deployed the Ulysses spacecraft, starting the interplanetary probe on its four-year journey, via Jupiter, to investigate the polar regions of the Sun ; operated the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet instrument ( SSBUV ) to map atmospheric ozone levels ; activated a controlled " fire in space " experiment ( the Solid Surface Combustion Experiment, or SSCE ); and conducted numerous other middeck experiments involving radiation measurements, polymer membrane production, and microgravity effects on plants.

In May 1985 he was named to the crew of STS-61-F, which was to deploy the Ulysses spacecraft on an interplanetary trajectory using a Centaur upper stage.

Newer spacecraft have used spin stabilization for some or all of their mission, including both Galileo and Ulysses.

During an encounter with Jupiter in 1992, the Ulysses spacecraft detected a stream of dust-sized particles being ejected from the Jupiter system.

In Lope de Vega's miscellany La Circe-con otras rimas y prosas ( Madrid 1624 ), the story of her encounter with Ulysses appears as a verse epic in three cantos.

Henri Bergson ( 1859 – 1941 ), on the other hand, emphasized the difference between scientific, clock time and the direct, subjective, human experience of time His work on time and consciousness " had a great influence on twentieth-century novelists ," especially those modernists who used the stream of consciousness technique, such as Dorothy Richardson, Pointed Roofs, ( 1915 ), James Joyce, Ulysses ( 1922 ) and Virginia Woolf ( 1882 – 1941 ) Mrs Dalloway ( 1925 ), To the Lighthouse ( 1927 ).

Odysseus ( or ; Greek:, Odusseus ), also known by the Roman name Ulysses (; ), was the perhaps fictional Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey.

An interesting phenomenon has been the continuing collaboration between French and Japanese animators, resulting in a series of French-Japanese cartoons / anime, including such titles as Ulysses 31 ( 1981 ), The Mysterious Cities of Gold ( 1982 ), and more recently, Ōban Star-Racers ( 2006 ).
