Scientific paper

On the Vega 1, 2 descent modules the humidity of the Venus atmosphere was measured by an analyzer comprised of two sensors: a thermoelectrolytic LiCl-based device for determining the dew point (-30 C to +30 C) and a Coulomb sensor for measuring the volume water vapor content (0.01-0.2 percent). The ranges of the two instruments overlap. Mounted on the landing ring, this compound hygrometer functioned at heights of 62-25 km above the planetary surface, and each spacecraft obtained a vertical humidity profile for the nightside atmosphere.
