Abstract
We review the current status of the Ulysses mission and summarize the results to date of the GRB experiment. This instrument detects bursts at the rate of about one every 3.5 days, and the localization data are being disseminated rapidly via the BACO-DINE and NMSU networks. The mission should operate through 2001, and future missions to Mars starting in 1996 will complete the 3rd Interplanetary Network.
