The Ulysses spacecraft carries nine hardware experiments,
each provided by an international team of scientists headed
by a Principal Investigator. These instruments are designed
to study the solar wind, the structure of the Sun/wind interface,
the helios pheric magnetic field, solar radio bursts and plasma
waves, solar X-rays, solar and interplanetary energetic particles,
galactic cosmic rays, and the interstellar/interplanetary neutral
gas and dust, all as a function of solar latitude.
