Abstract
Deep space tracking stations on different continents were arrayed during the encounter of the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) spacecraft with the comet Giacobini-Zinner during September 9 through 12, 1985, This is the first time that telemetry signals received on different continents have been combined to enhance signal-to-noise ratio. The arraying was done in non-real time using the method of symbol stream combining. The improvement in signal-to-noise ratio was typically 2 dB over the stronger of the two stations in each array.
