Scientific paper

A potential cooperative NASA/ESA mission is described. It involves a rendezvous with comet Tempel 2 during its apparition in 1988, and a fast flyby of comet Halley at 1.53 astronomical units pre-perihelion at the end of 1985. ESA's share of the project is the provision of a probe to be released from the main spacecraft to the inner coma of comet Halley. NASA's share of the project includes the main spacecraft and the solar electric propulsion system.
