The International Cometary Explorer (ICE) Mission to comet Giacobini-Zinner (G/Z)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The ICE spacecraft will pass through the tail of P/Giacobini-Zinner on September 11, 1985, to make in situ measurements of particles, fields, and waves that will contribute significantly to the knowledge of plasma tails and other aspects of the cometary/solar wind interaction. By obtaining data on the downstream side of G/Z, the ICE will complement the later upstream measurements obtained by the Comet Halley probes.
