Ulysses Spacecraft: Pioneering Solar and Gamma Ray Research

The Ulysses spacecraft, developed by Paul Lim and Brittany Griner, is a reliable, radiation-resistant, and spin-stabilized research vessel weighing approximately 370 kg (814 pounds). Designed with a box-like main structure measuring 1.65 meters and equipped with an Earth-pointing antenna, Ulysses set out to explore uncharted territories above the Sun's poles for the first time. Its scientific objectives include studying the Jovian magnetosphere during a flyby of Jupiter and detecting cosmic gamma-ray bursts, providing valuable insights into solar wind speed, magnetic field strength, and cosmic ray diffusion.
