Our mission is entitled “Rendezvous with Comet Halley”. Comet Halley made its last approach to the sun in 1985-86. During its visit an armada of five spacecraft flew by Comet Halley at various distances to gather information about this cosmic traveler. Halley’s last visit was its thirtieth recorded passage by Earth. Halley will next round the sun in 2061. This visit will offer the possibility of a spacecraft with a crew of scientists onboard to rendezvous with Comet Halley.
