The European Space Agency launched the Giotto probe in July 1985, and on July 10, 1992, it made its closest approach to Comet 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup.
The probe first made contact with Halley's Comet in March 1986, but during the flyby, the probe's camera was destroyed. When Giotto passed by Comet 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup, it could not take any images.
