Ulysses Dust Detection System Data

Published by SPDF | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 18, 2026 at 11:57 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 18, 2026
This data set contains information collected by the Ulysses Cosmic Dust instrument on the dust environment in interplanetary space within the inner solar system, between Jupiter and the Sun, and at high polar latitudes of the Sun. Both interplanetary and interstellar dust particles have been detected. This information is collected with a dust impact experiment, from which may be inferred direction of motion, mass, velocity and charge (see ULYDINST.CAT). The data presented in this dataset include instrumental readouts, inferred metadata, calibration information and a calendar of events.
