The International Cometary Explorer (ICE) spacecraft passed through the plasma tail of Comet Giacobini-Zinner (G/Z) on Sept. 11, 1985, and made in situ measurements of particles, fields, and waves. The scientific results indicate that Alfven's magnetic-field capture and draping model is correct; that the comet/solar-wind interaction produces energetic ions (probably by the pick-up process), and that the bow wave, as seen on the flanks, is not a shock but an extended interaction region. It is concluded that the ICE spacecraft survived the encounter virtually unscathed and made field and particle measurements upstream of Comet Halley, actually detecting the comet via plasma wave and energetic particle measurements.
