GIOTTO Takes Shape

Abstract

Comprehensive electrical and electromagnetic tests have been successfully completed on the full‐scale electrical engineering version of the GIOTTO spacecraft in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Test Facility at British Aerospace Dynamics Group at Bristol. GIOTTO will intercept Halley's Comet when it approaches the ecliptic plane of Earth in 1986.
