Scientific paper

Experimental data are presented on variations of the phases and frequencies of coherent radio signals in the decimeter and centimeter wavelength regions emitted from the Vega-1 and -2 spacecraft. Results of calibration measurements obtained during the period from February 14 to March 17, 1986 are compared with the results of the radio sounding of Halley's comet on March 6 and 9, 1986. It is shown that the effect of the plasma shell of the comet on radio wave propagation is commensurate with that of the interplanetary plasma. Quasi-periodic (with a period of about 30 sec) signal fluctuations were identified during the flight of the Vega-1 through the cometopause.
