Difference between International Cometary Explorer and Ulysses (spacecraft)

International Cometary Explorer vs. Ulysses (spacecraft)

The International Cometary Explorer (ICE) spacecraft (designed and launched as the International Sun-Earth Explorer-3 (ISEE-3) satellite), was launched August 12, 1978, into a heliocentric orbit. Ulysses is a decommissioned robotic space probe whose primary mission was to orbit the Sun and study it at all latitudes.
