During the Vega 1 and 2 comet Halley encounters plasma wave instrument APV-N entered a region of impulsive noise 220,000 km from nucleus. The noise is attributed to dust grain impacts onto spacecraft body. Regression analysis of impact induced effects recorded during flyby shows that from 100,000 km from closest approach most plasma wave spectra measured by APV-N onboard Vega 1 and 2 are significantly influenced by dust impact effects. Signals associated with large dust impacts are directly recorded on the E2 0.1 to 25 Hz electric field waveform channel.
