This document is a condensed version of the information presented in the Ulysses Mission Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). An earlier Safety Status Report (January 31, 1990) presented interim information to support NASA's Environmental Impact Statement for the mission. It was the best information available at the time the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process required for timely support of NASA's decision making process. Section 1 of this Summary Report is a brief description of the Ulysses Mission. Section 2 contains descriptions of the Ulysses spacecraft, the Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator that provides electrical power to the scientific instruments, radios, and control systems, and a description of the launch vehicle. Section 3 is a summary description of the Ulysses mission accident analyses and risk assessment and their results. 5 figs., 5 tabs.
