Scientific paper

A shuttle-launched, electrically propelled spacecraft is described which gains sufficient velocity inside the earth's orbit to encounter Comet Halley on its retrograde orbit with a relative velocity below 25 km/sec at a solar distance of 2.3 AU. Launched in April of 1985 with 100 kg of scientific instruments, the proposed spacecraft would meet the comet on its outbound leg 129 days after perihelion.
