The launch in October 1990 of the joint ESA-NASA Ulysses mission
marked the start of a new era in the study of the heliosphere. For
the fIrst time, in-situ observations are being made covering the
full range of heliographic latitudes. Following the successful
gravity-assist manoeuvre at Jupiter in February 1992, Ulysses left
the ecliptic plane in a southerly direction and headed back toward
the Sun, passing over the southern solar pole in mid-1994. To mark
these unique events, the 28th ESLAB Symposium, held in Friedrichs
hafen, Germany, on 19-21 April 1994, was devoted to "The High
Latitude Helio sphere." Following on from the highly successful
19th ESLAB Symposium "The Sun and the Heliosphere in Three
Dimensions" (Les Diablerets, 1985), the purpose of the meeting was
to review out-of-ecliptic results from the Ulysses mission obtained
to date, and to provide a focus for the fIrst polar pass. Relevant
results from other space missions, as well as ground-based and
theoretical studies, were also included. Attended by 130
scientists, the main themes of the Symposium were The Sun and
Corona, Large-Scale Heliospheric Structure, Energetic Particles in
the Heliosphere, Cosmic Rays in the Heliosphere, and Interstellar
Gas and Cosmic Dust. The scientifIc programme consisted of a number
of Topical Review papers introducing various as pects of these
themes, supplemented by a large number of contributed papers (72 in
to tal) presented either orally or as posters. Undoubtedly, the
excellent poster sessions formed one of the highlights of the
meeting."
