The Giotto Comet Halley probe successfully traversed the inner coma of Comet Halley on March 14, 1986. The Dust Impact Detection System (DIDSY) aboard the Giotto spacecraft provided the information on the dust flux, mass spectrum, and cumulative mass distribution flux in the coma of Comet Halley. Analysis of discrete pulse height data of cometary …
