Scientific paper
The studies carried out in the U.S.A. and in Europe to investigate the possibilities and the scientific merit of a cometary probe are surveyed and reviewed. The scientific objectives of such a mission are given and the conditions are stated which a feasible comet must fulfill. Further, proposals of the different groups for the instrumentation of the probe are discussed. Though not all the groups propose the same comets for a first mission, due to different selection criteria, they agree that a mission to a ‘new’, non-periodic comet is out of consideration at present, and that a mission to a periodic comet, though possible in principle, presents various difficulties with respect to orbit accuracy and energy requirements. It is emphasized that a mission to Comet Halley in 1986 would be of special value.
