The opening graphic, orbit diagrams and launch images come from the Ulysses web site of the European Space Agency: http://helio.estec.esa.nl/ulysses/

The polar plot of solar wind speed and magnetic field polarity, overlaid on solar images, was originally published by D.J. McComas et al. in Geophysical Research Letters, volume 25, pp1-4, 1998.

The information on the naming of Ulysses and the accompanying image were adapted from the booklet "Ulysses - A voyage to the Sun", through the courtesy of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology.
