JOURNAL OF THE NEW SOUTH WALES TEACHERS FEDERATION  

Vol. 65 No. 14  

Auaust 13, 1984  

Price $l.OO  

Registered by Aiistrelie Poet Publication Number N8G1213  

SPACE EXPLORER TO  

INTERCEPT HALLEY 'S  

COMET IN 1986  

Taking shape at British Aerospace (BA) in Bristol, south-west England, is  

Giotto, Europe’s first space explorer. Its mission: to intercept and investigate  

the phenomenon known as Halley’s Comet. Engineers at BA’s Space  

Assembly Building are seen working on the electrical cable harness on the  

spacecraft, due for completion in May 1984. It will be launched by the  

European Space Agency (ESA) on an Ariane rocket from Kourou, French  

Guyana, in July 1985, intercepting the comet in March 1986 at distance of  

150 million km (93 million miles) from the earth and 133 million km (82  

million miles) from the sun.  

The comet is named after Edmond Halley, the British Astronomer Royal  

who is first identified it and calculated its orbit in 1682. Its reappearance in  

1986 after its 76-year-long orbit presents scientists with ‘once in lifetime’  

opportunity for its close inspection. Comets were probably created during the  

formation of the solar system. Study of their frozen nuclei may reveal  

important information about the nature of this event. During Giotto’s  

journey through the comet’s surrounding coma and tail to within 500 km (310  

miles) of its nucleus, experimental instrumentation on board will transmit to  

earth data on its chemical composition, interaction with the solar wind and  

measurements of its magnetic field. camera will relay colour pictures of the  

comet’s nucleus and coma. Giotto’s experiments will be protected during its  

four-hour encounter with the comet by an ingenious dust shield which will  

absorb cometary dust particles travelling at relative velocity of more than  

fifty times the speed of bullet and which will probably destroy the craft  

towards the end of its journey.  

British Aerospace Space and Communications Division, as prime  

contractor to the ESA for the Giotto mission, leads team of specialist  

contractors from ten European countries in this multi-million pound project.  

BA is responsible for the design and manufacture of the electrical cable  

harness together with integration of assembly systems and testing of both the  

Giotto electrical engineering model and the protoflight vehicle.  

The giotto mission takes its name from the Italian painter who, having  

sighted the comet in 1301, depicted it as the Star of Bethleham in his famous  

fresco ‘The Adoration of the Magi.’
