Aspects of the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) flight to the comet Giacobini-Zinner (GZ) are discussed. The most important experiments to be performed by ICE are reviewed, and the orbital parameters of GZ are described. The dust characteristics of GZ that pose a hazard to the spacecraft are addressed, and the ICE targeting strategy toward the comet is discussed. Requested ground-based coverage of GZ is indicated, and the complementarity of the GZ coverage with that given to the Halley mission is shown.
