sts-41

Ulysses was originally scheduled to be launched from STS-61F, the flight immediately following the Challenger mishap. It was later reflown from STS-41. The Ulysses Mission is the first spacecraft to explore interplanetary space at high solar latitudes. Ulysses is a joint endeavor of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the USA. This patch was issued for the STS-41 mission.

This version looks similar to the original and updated date versions, but lacks any date at all.

STS-41 was the eleventh mission of the Space Shuttle Discovery. The four-day mission with a primary objective to launch the Ulysses probe as part of the "International Solar Polar Mission".

There are two versions of this patch from STS-61F.

This is a flown variation of the Ulysses deployment mission STS-41. I have not seen this particular variation before.

The Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SSBUV) instrument was
designed to measure ozone concentrations by comparing solar
ultraviolet radiation with radiation scattered back from the Earth's
atmosphere.

The seven previous SSBUV flights occurred on STS-34 in October 1989, STS-41 in October 1990, STS-43
in August 1991, STS-45/ATLAS-1 in March 1992, STS-56/ATLAS-2 in April 1993, STS-62 in March
1994, and STS-66/ATLAS-3 in November 1994.
