Scientific paper

In the experiment to determine the moisture content of the Venus atmosphere, the Venera 13 and Venera 14 landers carried type VM-3R humidity analyzers whose moisture-sensitive element is an electrolytic LiCl-based heating hygrometer. Provision is made for absolute humidity measurements from 0.06 to 17 mm-Hg or a dew point from -44 C to +20 C. Measurements were conducted at heights of about 50-46 km above the surface of the planet. The volume abundance of water vapor at these levels is (0.2 + or - 0.04) percent.
