Can anyone answer the name of the mission in which the mission surveyed the environment above and below the poles of the Sun?
 
The Ulysses mission is a joint mission with NASA and ESA to explore the solar environment at high ecliptic latitudes. It was launched 6 October 1990, and reached Jupiter for its "gravitational slingshot" in February 1992. It passed the south solar pole in June 1994 and crossed the ecliptic equator in February 1995. In addition to its solar environment instruments, Ulysses also carries plasma instruments to study the interstellar and Jovian regions, as well as two instruments for studying X-rays and gamma-rays of both solar and cosmic origins.
