Scientific paper

The dust counter and mass analyzer on board both the Vega 1 and Vega 2 spacecraft scheduled to encounter Halley's Comet are discussed. The operational modes, data formats, telemetry modes and data acquisition, and scientific measurements planned for this experiment both at encounter and during interplanetary travel are described. The initial postlaunch calibration and experiment status are summarized in an appendix.
