for A131977 (Analogue of A131976 for the icosahedron)
I find
(1), 1, 3, 5, 8, 8, 12, ...and down again... ( 8, 8, 5, 3, 1, (1) )

the norms are:
{1/8*(5 + Sqrt[5])}

{0, 1, 1/2*(3 + Sqrt[5])}

{3/8*(3 - Sqrt[5]), 1/8*(5 + Sqrt[5]), 1/8*(13 + Sqrt[5]), 3/8*(7 +
3*Sqrt[5]), 1/8*(17 + 5*Sqrt[5])}

{0, 1, 2, 1/2*(3 - Sqrt[5]), 1/2*(3 + Sqrt[5]), 3 + Sqrt[5], 1/4*(3 +
Sqrt[5])^2, 1/2*(5 + Sqrt[5])}

{1/8*(17 - 3*Sqrt[5]), 3/8*(3 - Sqrt[5]), 1/8*(5 + Sqrt[5]), 5/8*(5 +
Sqrt[5]), 1/8*(13 + Sqrt[5]), 3/8*(7 + 3*Sqrt[5]),   1/8*(17 + 5*Sqrt[5]),
1/8*(33 + 13*Sqrt[5])}

{0, 1, 2, 3, 1/2*(3 - Sqrt[5]), 1/2*(5 - Sqrt[5]), 1/2*(3 + Sqrt[5]), 3 +
Sqrt[5], 3/2*(3 + Sqrt[5]), 1/4*(3 + Sqrt[5])^2,   1/2*(5 + Sqrt[5]), 5 +
2*Sqrt[5]}

vectors v_{i_1} + v_{i_2} + ... + v_{i_n} where 1 <= i_1 <= i_2 <= ... <=
i_n <= 20.  Then a(n) = number of orbits of G on S(n).
