Halley Armada

The Halley Armada was a series of space probes, five of which were successful, sent to examine Halley's Comet during its 1986 passage through the inner Solar System. The armada included one probe from the European Space Agency, two probes that were joint projects between the Soviet Union and France and two probes from the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Japan. NASA did not contribute a probe to the Halley Armada.
