It is now possible, for the first time, to synthesize what has been learned regarding the mineralogy, geochemistry, and geology of comets from the Giotto, Vega, Stardust, Stardust NEXT, Deep Impact, and Rosetta missions to comets Halley, Wild 2, Borrelly, Tempel 1, and Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Articles in this issue describe the nature of cometary inorganic phases, volatiles, notable water, and organics.

It is now possible, for the first time, to synthesize what has been learned regarding the mineralogy, geochemistry, and geology of comets from the Giotto, Vega, Stardust, Stardust NEXT, Deep Impact, and Rosetta missions to comets Halley, Wild 2, Borrelly, Tempel 1, and Churyumov– Gerasimenko. Articles in this issue describe the nature of cometary inorganic phases, volatiles, notable water, and organics. As shown in this issue, the relationships between the organics and the volatile inventories of terrestrial planets are critical. Processes that force comets to interact with other Solar System bodies are also discussed. For example, dust shed by comets enters the atmospheres of planets every day, observed as meteor showers that can be traced back to specific parent comets. One implication of this fact is that the enigmatic methane observed in the Martian atmosphere may arise from meteor showers of cometary material.
