The Plazmag-1 measurement technique is described in detail, and experimental results obtained on Vega 1 and 2 are discussed. It is concluded that, on the whole, the Faraday-cylinder instrument in the Plazmag-1 complex made it possible to obtain a sufficiently reliable description of the neutral-gas distribution in the vicinity of Comet Halley. For cometocentric distances ranging from 200,000 to 3,000,000 km, the Faraday-cylinder was the only instrument in the complex capable of directly measuring the neutral-gas distribution along the trajectory.
