Scientific paper

Within the framework of the international project Vega, which is opening an era of fundamentally new research on the atmosphere of Venus and also a program of studying the small bodies of the solar system--the comets and steroids, the Soviet spacecraft Vega-1 and Vega-2 inserted two balloon probes into the atmosphere of Venus, in addition to their landers. The main task of the balloon experiment was to obtain new information about the dynamics of the atmosphere of Venus. A sonde, unlike a lander, makes it possible to conduct measurements over various sectors of the planet. Each balloon probe was operating for 46 hours and in this time flew with the wind over 12,000 kilometers, measuring along its flightpath the temperature, pressure, vertical gusts of wind, the range of visibility in the clouds, the average amount of illumination and following the presence of light flashes. The balloon flights started from the middle of the planet's night region and finished their work on the daylight side.
