Scientific paper

In December 1984, the Soviet Union launched the two spacecraft Vega 1 and Vega 2. After reaching Venus and releasing entry probes for a study of the planet, the two modified Venera-class, three-axis stabilized spacecraft will continue their voyage toward an encounter with the comet Halley. The two spacecraft carry an international scientific payload. The instruments will be used in a study of the comet. Scientific objectives are related to the determination of the physical characteristics and chemical structure of the nucleus, the identification of the parent molecules of the coma, the characteristics of the dust particles at different distances from the nucleus, and the interaction between the solar wind and the comet. The various instruments are discussed in some detail.
