Scientific paper
Comets are celestial bodies which have been known for a long time. However, it has never been possible to observe the nucleus of a comet. Assumptions regarding the structure of the cometary nucleus are considered along with the coma and the tail, the orbits and the origin of comets, formation hypotheses, and aspects of chemical composition. A description is presented of Halley's Comet, which is the most intensive of the comets with short periods. The activities planned for the exploration of this comet at the time of its return in 1985 and 1986 are discussed, taking into account plans of the International Halley Watch, a project involving a passage through the cometary coma by the space probe Giotto of ESA, a space mission to be conducted with the aid of the space probe VeGa of the USSR, and a mission planned by ISAS of Japan. Particular attention is given to the experiments for the study of the cometary coma to be performed with the aid of the Giotto space probe. Future plans for the exploration of comets are also discussed.
