The information gained on the Comet Halley by the international probe studies is presented. The new information includes data on the true size and shape of the cometary nucleus and the mass of its dust grains, the chemical composition of the nucleus, and the characteristics of the 'bow wave' of the comet. The requirements of future missions for solving the many questions that are still open are discussed.
