Giotto
Giotto The European Space Agency's first space probe, launched to Halley's Comet in 1985July. It flew within 600 km of the sunward side of Halley's nucleus on 1986March 14, taking close-up images and analysing the comet's dust and gas. Although battered by dust from the comet, Giotto survived and in 1990July became the first spacecraft to use the Earth in a
gravity-assist manoeuvre, when it was retargeted to Comet
Grigg–Skjellerup; it passed 200 km from that comet's nucleus in 1992July. http://giotto.esa.int/
