What Does ICE Stand For?
ICE stands for International Cometary Explorer
The International Cometary Explorer (ICE) is a NASA spacecraft launched in 1985 to study comets and their characteristics. It achieved significant milestones, including the first spacecraft to successfully fly by a comet, specifically Comet Giacobini-Zinner in 1985, and later observed Comet Halley in 1986. ICE provided valuable data on the composition, structure, and dynamics of cometary atmospheres, enhancing our understanding of these celestial bodies and their role in the solar system.
