First sentence: The European Giotto mission, the Russian Vega missions and the Japanese Sakigake and Suisei missions to Comet P/Halley, the Giotto flyby at comet Grigg-Skjellerup and the NASA ICE flyby at comet Giacobini-Zinner have so far been the only spaceprobes coming close enough to a comet to probe the coma in situ.
