Mission Team

Ulysses is a joint mission between ESA and NASA. ESA provided the spacecraft, which was built by Dornier Systems (now EADS Astrium), Germany, and manages the mission operations. NASA provided the Space Shuttle Discovery and the inertial upper stage and payload assist module to put Ulysses in its correct out-of-ecliptic orbit. NASA also provided the radioisotope thermoelectric generator which powers the spacecraft and its payload.
