Scientific paper

The data links established between the U.S. and Europe during the September 1985 International Cometary Explorer/Comet Giacobini-Zinner encounter are summarized. The Space Physics Analysis Network (SPAN), which is a link between U.S. universities, research institutes and NASA centers, was responsible for the rapid dissemination and analysis of the data obtained from the encounter. The network was then linked across the Atlantic to support investigators involved in a European experiment on board the spacecraft. It is concluded that SPAN provided ESA personnel with a unique opportunity to experience near-real-time data acquisition. The data transfer was performed successfully, and the experience gained proved useful in assessing ESA's needs for future participation in scientific international networking.
