Ulysses is a joint ESA-NASA mission, the primary purpose of the mission is to make scientific measurements of the Sun outside the plane of the ecliptic. The delay in launching Ulysses, due to the Challenger disaster, meant that the hardware on which the Spacecraft Control and Monitoring System (SCMS) resides was becoming obsolete, and it was decided to convert SCMS to run on a DEC/VAX machine under VMS. The paper will cover the spacecraft, the conversion, the converted SCMS, problems found, and the upgrades implemented for solutions. It will also discuss the future for and enhancements already made to the converted SCMS.
