A brief account is given of the Vega 1 and Vega 2 automatic interplanetary stations that were launched on 15 and 21 December 1984 for research on the Venusian atmosphere and surface and on Halley's comet. The two vehicles flew by the nucleus of the comet at distances of 8912 and 8036 km, conducting research from those distances that was used for more precise guidance of Giotto to the comet. During the descent into the atmosphere of Venus on June of 1985, balloons were released which made investigations of the planetary cloud layer independently of the descent module. The landing modules made determinations of the elemental composition of the ground, temperature, pressure, physical and optical properties of the atmosphere, cloud structure and composition.
