A spacecraft for a post perihelion encounter with Comet Halley was designed. The GEOS design and hardware are used, subject to detail changes to subsystems. An X band telemetry system provides a bit rate of 40 Kbit/sec (under favorable weather conditions) using a despun, high gain, offset fed antenna. A dust shield protects the spacecraft from damage due to particle impact during encounter, the spin axis being aligned with the relative velocity vector. The spacecraft is suitable for Ariane launch, even if another payload is carried.
