[edit] How fast?

It says this probe is the fastest artificallly accellerated object, but does not say how fast.

"On leaving Earth, the spacecraft became the fastest ever artificially-accelerated object" Is this fact outdated by the recent launch of New Horizons? (see the New Horizons article)

[edit] picture

is it the real ulysses craft or a model? Nasa website says model....

[edit] Request for Image

Can someone add an image that shows the satellite's orbit and the gravity assisted maneuvers described in this article? Perhaps an animation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.170.239.44 (talk) 19:17, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How about an image of the Sun's north or south poile?

Something that is a glaring omission from this article are any actual images from Ulysses. Did it not take photographs of the North and South poles? There is actually no reference to Ulysses carrying a camera. This is sigificant as it makes it one of the only NASA probes to be "blind" if this is the case. 68.146.41.232 (talk) 22:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
