This day in space history

On 8 February 1992, the ESA/NASA Ulysses arrived at Jupiter and performed a gravity-assisted manoeuvre that swung the craft into its unique solar orbit. It passed over the Sun's south pole in 1994, and the north pole in 1995. The mission was designed to study the poles of the Sun and interstellar space above and below the poles.
