Dikarev, V.; Krüger, H.; Srama, R. +16 more

The Ulysses spacecraft has been orbiting the Sun on a highly inclined ellipse ( i=79^∘, perihelion distance 1.3 AU, aphelion distance 5.4 AU) since it encountered Jupiter in February 1992. Since then it has made almost three revolutions about the Sun. Here we report on the final three years of data taken by the on-board dust detector. Du…

Krüger, H.; Srama, R.; Hamilton, D. P. +17 more

The Galileo spacecraft was the first man-made satellite of Jupiter, orbiting the planet between December 1995 and September 2003. The spacecraft was equipped with a highly sensitive dust detector that monitored the jovian dust environment between approximately 2 and 370 R_J (jovian radius R_J=71 492 km). The Galileo dust detect…
