The ICE plasma wave investigation utilized very long electric antennas (90 meters tip-to-tip) and a very high sensitivity magnetic search coil to obtain: (1) significant local information on plasma physics phenomena occurring in the distant pickup regions of comet Giacobini-Zinner and comet P/Halley, and (2) information on the processes that developed in the coma and tail of Giacobini-Zinner. Since ICE traversed cometary regions that complemented those sampled by Vega and Sakigake, it is important to compare observations from the three missions that carried dedicated wave instruments. Here we summarize ICE plasma wave measurements associated with both comet encounters and relate the very high sensitivity ICE observations to corresponding measurements from the other Halley spacecraft.
