Comet P/Wild 2 was observed with ISO at r=1.85AU and Delta=2.08AU. Multi-filter measurements in the range of 7.3-160micron with 8 filters have been obtained, as well as a PHT-S spectrum covering 2.5-11.5micron. There is no strong silicate emission feature apparent and the overall dust temperature in the coma is consistent with TBB =220K+/-10K, very close to the local equilibrium temperature. Both results are consistent with coma dust dominated by large, dark particles, similar to that found for the majority of other short period comets. Spectral modeling solutions for the dust particle composition and mass loss rate will be presented.
