Scientific paper

The results of QH2O determination based on UV observations of Halley's comet carried out on board Astron space station are presented. The data were used to determine the value of mass loss per passage and life time of the comet. A probable evolution of the comet is discussed. It is suggested that after 50 to 100 passages the comet will turn into an asteroid-like body with slow gas production rate and remain in such a state indefinitely.
