Measurements of the electron spectra obtained by VEGA-2 in the vicinity of comet Halley are presented. It is shown that the temperature of thermal electrons decreases from about 4×105K shortly behind the bow shock to about 2×105K at the cometopause. Inside the cometopause a fast increase in the flux of energetic electrons of about 1 keV is observed. Various possibilities for the differences in the electron spectra measured by VEGA-2 and by Giotto are discussed.
